Deteriorated function of cutaneous microcirculation in chronic congestive heart failure
BACKGROUND Chronic congestive heart failure is a complex condition that leads to dysfunction in the peripheral microcirculation. We have previously shown that vascular reactivity is reduced with increasing age. In this study, we examined a group of very old patients with severe chronic heart failure to test the hypothesis that vascular function is further compromised by a combination of heart f...
متن کاملEffect of diabetes on the cutaneous microcirculation of the feet in patients with intermittent claudication.
AIMS To evaluate endothelial-dependent and - independent cutaneous vasodilator responses in the feet of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with or without Type 2 diabetes. METHODS Cutaneous microvascular responses in the dorsum of both lower limbs were measured in the supine position using Laser Doppler Fluximetry combined with iontophoretic administration of endothelial-dependen...
متن کاملVascular and neural mechanisms of ACh-mediated vasodilation in the forearm cutaneous microcirculation.
The relative contribution of endothelial vasodilating factors to acetylcholine (ACh)-mediated vasodilation in the forearm cutaneous microcirculation is unclear. The aims of this study were to investigate the contributions of prostanoids and cutaneous C fibers to basal cutaneous blood flow (CuBF) and ACh-mediated vasodilation. ACh was iontophoresed into the forearm, and cutaneous perfusion was m...
متن کاملCigarette smoking leads to reduced relaxant responses of the cutaneous microcirculation
BACKGROUND Smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The present study was undertaken to examine if cigarette smoking translates into reduced relaxant responses of the peripheral microcirculation. METHODS The cutaneous forearm blood flow was measured by laser Doppler flowmetry. The vasodilator response to the iontophorectic administration of acetylcholine (ACh), acting via an...
متن کاملDirect vasoconstriction evoked by A1-adenosine receptor stimulation in the cutaneous microcirculation.
To determine whether the vasoconstriction evoked by A1-adenosine receptor stimulation in the skin circulation caused the release of other substances or whether A1 stimulation modulated the vasoconstriction evoked by other compounds, a potent A1-selective, synthetic agonist, cyclohexyladenosine (CHA), was topically applied simultaneously with several different vasoconstrictor agonists or antagon...
