Purpose: To describe the characteristics of thrombus formation on atherosclerotic plaques,
the clinical expression of atherothrombosis in vascular disease, and some of the most recent …

Coronary artery, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease, are the principal causes
of morbidity and mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus. The accelerated macrovascular …

Background: The regulatory function of the endothelium is altered in hypercholesterolemia,
and the subsequent endothelial dysfunction plays a central role in the development of …

OBJECTIVES We studied whether assessment of endothelium-dependent vasomotion
(EDV) with brachial artery ultrasound (BAUS) imaging predicts the presence or absence of …

OBJECTIVES This study evaluates the impact of obesity on coronary endothelial function in
patients with normal or mild coronary artery disease. BACKGROUND The American Heart …

We tested whether trans fatty acids and saturated fatty acids had different effects on flow-
mediated vasodilation (FMD), a risk marker of coronary heart disease (CHD). Consumption …

Cerebrovascular risk factors, including hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus, aging,
dyslipidemia, and hyperhomocyst (e) inemia are linked to endothelial dysfunction …

Background—Although thyroid hormone (TH) exerts relevant effects on the cardiovascular
system, it is unknown whether TH also regulates vascular reactivity in humans. Methods and …

In response to physical and chemical stimuli, the endothelium regulates vascular tone
through the release of vasodilators, such as nitric oxide, and vasoconstrictors, such as …

OBJECTIVES The study examined arterial and cardiac structure and function in
bodybuilders using androgenic anabolic steroids (AAS), compared to non-steroid-using …
