Statin Improves Flow-Mediated Vasodilation in Chronic Kidney Diseases

In 36 CKD patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia, who were prescribing amlodipine 5 mg and atorvastatin 10 mg daily, the influences of exchanging to a combination drug containing equivalent doses of amlodipine and atorvastatin were o...
متن کاملFlow - Mediated Vasodilation *
Brachial arterial flow-mediated dilation (FMD), assessed by high-resolution ultrasonography, reflects endothelium-dependent vasodilator function. FMD is diminished in patients with atherosclerosis and with coronary risk factors, and improves with risk-reduction therapy. Therefore, the measurement of FMD can be a good prognostic instrument in preventive cardiology, is useful to predict short-ter...
متن کاملHaemoglobin and flow-mediated vasodilation.
A low [Hb] (Hb concentration) is out-balanced by peripheral vasodilation via mechanisms that are incompletely understood. Peripheral vasodilation is influenced by NO (nitric oxide) released from vascular endothelium in response to increased vessel wall shear stress, and absorption by Hb is the main mechanism by which the bioactivity of NO is disarmed. Thus we propose that graded NO absorption i...
