No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-01-01; Pulse wave velocity (PWV) has become a gold standard index to quantify the stiffness of the aorta and is a predictor of cardiovascular events. A recent paper compared the pOpmètreⓇ, a device for measuring the finger-toe PWV, with other techniques and demonstrated its accuracy and validity. However, huma...

Proinflammatory role of angiotensin II in the aorta of normotensive mice

Increase in vascular injury of sodium overloaded mice may be related to vascula...

Effect of high-fat diet upon inflammatory markers and aortic stiffening in mice

Sildenafil preserves diastolic relaxation after reduction by L-NAME and increas...

OBJECTIVES: We investigated the influence of sildenafil on cardiac contractility and diastolic relaxation and examined the distribution of phosphodiesterase-5 in the hearts of hypertensive rats that were treated with by NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). METHODS: Male Wistar rats were treated with L-NAME and/or sildenafil for eight weeks. The Langendorff method was used to examine the effects of sildena...

Hemodynamic, morphometric and autonomic patterns in hypertensive rats - renin-a...

BACKGROUND: Spontaneously hypertensive rats develop left ventricular hypertrophy, increased blood pressure and blood pressure variability, which are important determinants of heart damage, like the activation of renin-angiotensin system. AIMS: To investigate the effects of the time-course of hypertension over 1) hemodynamic and autonomic patterns (blood pressure; blood pressure variability; heart rate); 2) left...

Human saphenous vein organ culture under controlled hemodynamic conditions

INTRODUCTION: Saphenous vein grafting is still widely used to revascularize ischemic myocardium. The effectiveness of this procedure is limited by neointima formation and accelerated atherosclerosis, which frequently leads to graft occlusion. A better understanding of this process is important to clarify the mechanisms of vein graft disease and to aid in the formulation of strategies for prevention and/or thera...
