Serum ADMA concentration – an independent factor determining FMD impairment in cardiac syndrome X
UNLABELLED Mechanisms of decreased endogenous vascular reactivity in individuals with cardiac syndrome X (CSX) are not fully understood. AIM To evaluate the following serum markers: total nitric oxide (NO), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and to establish their relation to ultrasound indexes of endothelial function and structural remodeling in CSX pa...
متن کاملMetoprolol improves endothelial function in patients with cardiac syndrome X
Endothelial dysfunction which is manifested by the loss of nitric oxide bioavailability, is an increasingly recognized cause of cardiac syndrome X (CSX) and beta blockers are used for the treatment of this syndrome. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate effects of metoprolol, as a beta blocker, on endothelial function in CSX patients. The study included 25 CSX patients (20 female/ 5 ma...

متن کاملFactor XIII Val34Leu polymorphism in patients with cardiac syndrome X.
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to examine the frequency of factor XIII polymorphism among patients with cardiac syndrome X (CSX). METHODS This study was designed as a cross-sectional and observational study. Forty-eight female patients with CSX and 36 controls matched by age, gender, diabetes, and hypertension were studied. CSX was defined as typical chest pain during rest or effort, abn...
متن کاملThe Y factor in the cardiac syndrome X
What is interesting in a patient with chest pain and normal coronary arteries on the angiogram? Not much for the Y factor, especially as there is not much we can see, investigate, measure or treat. The publication by Vermeltfoort et al. in this issue is very reassuring [1]. The group in Tilburg in collaboration with the VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam did an excellent job in highlight...
