Lipoprotein(a) in vascular health: its role in inflammation, atherosclerosis, and arterial function
Η λιποπρωτεΐνη(α) [Lp(a)] είναι ένα μοναδικό σωματίδιο λιποπρωτεΐνης που παίζει σημαντικό ρόλο στην καρδιαγγειακή υγεία και νόσο. Δομικά, η Lp(a) αποτελείται από ένα κεντρικό σωματίδιο παρόμοιο με τη χαμηλής πυκνότητας λιποπρωτεΐνη (LDL), το οποίο είναι συνδεδεμένο ομοιοπολικά με μια γλυκοπρωτεΐνη …

Acute arterial responses to physiological and psychological stress
… and psychological stress on indices of arterial function. During likely elevation of sympathetic outflow following isometric exercise, indices of conduit and central artery function indicated stiffening in excess of 10%. During and following acute mental stress the large arteries …

The acute effects of shear rate maniuplation on vascular function in a healthy population
… retrograde SR, which is detrimental to vascular function. Despite previous data highlighting the acute negative effects of distal cuff inflation on vascular function, little is known about the effects of proximal cuff inflation. Data from study 1 of this thesis indicates that proximal cuff …

Mechanics and Modeling of Postnatal Arterial Development in Mouse Models of Varying Elastin
<p>Proper arterial function requires a specific composition of extracellular matrix: ECM) proteins to produce a vessel with the right mechanical properties. Closed circulatory systems driven by a beating heart have pulsatile flow, requiring the large elastic arteries to have the ability to distend …

Arterial and venous adaptations to short-term handgrip exercise training
… Estimated VO<sub>2peak</sub> correlated with arterial inflow (Ainf) [r=0.54; p=0.012] and resting venous outflow (Vout) [r=0.56; p=0.016]. Lastly, HG strength was associated with Vcap [r=0.57; p=0.007] and Vout [r=0.67; p=0.001]. The 2nd study examined the relationship between FVF and exercise …

Physical fitness and cardiovascular function in multiple sclerosis
… the central nervous system. Cardiovascular function (CV) has been shown to be impaired in persons with MS which can lead to the development of comorbidities that can promote disability progression. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and, to a lesser extent, muscular fitness (MF) have been shown …

Studies of vascular function in patients with heart failure and either preserved or reduced left ventricular systolic function
… failure have preserved left ventricular systolic function (HF-PSF). Invasive studies utilising cardiac catheterisation have demonstrated that patients with HF-PSF have abnormalities of left ventricular (LV) relaxation and filling, or LV diastolic dysfunction. As a result, it has been proposed that …

Impact of inactivity and exercise on the vasculature in humans : the role of blood flow and shear stress on arterial adaptations in healthy males
… training is known to increase endothelial function and provoke arterial remodelling both locally and systemically. This thesis was designed to further examine these relationships by investigating the acute response to different exercise intensities, with and without shear rate modification. …
