Inflammation is a physiological response to aggression of pathogenic agents aimed at
eliminating the aggressor agent and promoting healing. Excessive inflammation, however …

Acute inflammation impairs vascular function in an age-dependent manner and affects
cardiovascular event risk. Regular aerobic exercise preserves vascular function with aging …

Background Patients with gout have arterial dysfunction and systemic inflammation, even
during intercritical episodes, which may be markers of future adverse cardiovascular …

Both aberrant vascular reactivity to acute cardiovascular stress and epigenetic mechanisms
such as microRNA (miR) may underlie the increased propensity for African Americans (AA) …

Acute inflammation increases the risk of cardiac and cerebrovascular events, possibly
related to alterations in the hemodynamic load. Wave reflection at the aorta and carotid …

Arterial stiffness (AS) is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Acute endurance
training decreases AS, whereas acute resistance training increases it. However, these …

African Americans (AA) have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) as compared to
their White (W) counterparts. CVD is characterized by increased blood pressure (BP) …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Are there sex differences in
vascular function following induced inflammation when oestrogen is typically similar …

Acute inflammation is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events and impaired
vasodilatory capacity. Vasodilatory capacity can be measured in different segments of the …

Background To investigate physical fitness as a mediator of the relationship between arterial
stiffness and cognitive function in seniors. Methods This is a cross-sectional study …
