The current understanding of the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis leading to coronary
artery disease (CAD) emphasizes the role of inflammatory mediators. Given the bidirectional …

Both age and gender influence cardiovascular autonomic control, which in turn may
influence the ability to withstand adverse cardiac events and respond to orthostatic stress …

There is ample evidence in the epidemiological and clinical literature that hypertension and
overweight are closely and causally interrelated. Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) …

We tested the hypotheses that (1) progression of coronary artery disease (CAD) increases
sympathetic inflow to the heart, thus impairing cardiac blood supply, and (2) reduced …

In this paper, novel heart rate variability (HRV) indices were extracted for the autonomic
nervous system (ANS) activity assessment in congestive heart failure (CHF). It has been …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) significantly increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
CKD remains an under-represented population in cardiovascular clinical trials, and …

The interrelationship between activity of sympathetic nervous system and metabolic risk
factors in youth with hypertension (HT) has been poorly studied. The aim of our present …

Dehydroepiandrosterone has been implicated in vascular disease and its associated insulin
resistance and hypertension, though little is known about its vascular effects. We have …

F2α-isoprostanes, produced non-enzymatically from arachidonic acid are potent
vasoconstrictors. Dietary supplementation with (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids has been …

OBJETIVE: The evaluation, by exercise stress testing, of the cardiorespiratory effects of
pyridostigmine (PYR), a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. METHODS: A double …
