Muscle Metaboreflex Control Of Cardiovascular Function In Hypertension
… metaboreflex-mediated increases in ventricular function and CO are markedly attenuated during mild exercise. As sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) is exaggerated in both heart failure and HTN, it is plausible that the mechanisms mediating the attenuation of CO in HTN with muscle metaboreflex …

Physical fitness and cardiovascular function in multiple sclerosis
… disease that affects 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) …

A non-dimensional analysis of cardiovascular function and thermoregulation
The cardiovascular system plays a vital role in protecting the body from temperature extremes due to its unique ability to store, transport, and dissipate heat. A comprehensive study of the thermoregulatory aspects of the system is severely limited by its complexity and the interdependency of its …

Insulin resistance and cardiovascular function - Observational, translational and interventional studies
… is now recognized as an important driver for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Diabetic patients are known to suffer from this condition, leading to e.g. coronary ischemia as well as kidney dysfunction. Accumulating evidences indicate that the vascular pathological alterations may be a …

EFFECTS OF PASSIVE STATIC STRETCHING ON MECHANICAL, NEUROMUSCULAR, AND CARDIOVASCULAR FUNCTION
… of a lower-limb PSS training program on systemic cardiovascular health in hypertensive individuals. While full-body stretching routines have demonstrated antihypertensive benefits, it remains uncertain whether stretching a limited number of muscles can achieve similar results. Findings indicate …

A prospective study of implantation, maternal cardiovascular function and pregnancy outcome
… may also be affected by pre-existing maternal cardiovascular function and associated with maternal cardiovascular maladaptation during pregnancy. There is limited understanding of events surrounding human implantation because of the difficulties in conducting prospective studies from prior to …

Rapid Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Tissue Motion with Adaptive Velocity Sensitivity for Evaluating Cardiovascular Function
… application of DEPC in evaluating diastolic function from the simultaneous measurement of peak blood (E) and myocardial tissue (Em) velocities - which can differ by an order of magnitude. The response of the magnitude of an MR signal to tissue motion was investigated using theory, simulation …

Prenatal exposure to maternal obesity and SFLT-1 overexpression and cardiovascular function in the adult offspring
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Adult smoking, type II diabetes, and other environments and conditions, have been identified as risk factors for cardiovascular diseases; however, the effects of prenatal development cannot be overlooked. In the 1980s Barker …

Effect of sodium chloride supplementation on serum sodium concentration, cardiovascular function, and physical and cognitive performance
… on serum and sweat sodium concentration, cardiovascular function, and physical and cognitive performance. Sweat sodium losses, alone, caused a significant decline in serum sodium concentration (-6.4±1.6 mEq/L, p=0.001) during 3h cycling in the heat in endurance-trained athletes with high …

Aerobic Exercise Training and Nasal CPAP Therapy: Adaptations in Cardiovascular Function in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
… concerning exercise tolerance and hemodynamic function in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients may add new and clinically meaningful information to the process of grading disease severity and/or assessing treatment outcomes. Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to explore …

The Effects of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome on Cardiovascular Function with Exercise Testing in Young Adult Males
… and prognostic tool for those at high risk for cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Research into the cardiopulmonary responses to exercise testing in young adult men with OSAS has not been examined. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to: 1) evaluate whether OSAS is characterized …

Simple Tests for Assessing Kidney and Cardiovascular Function in Chromic Kidney Disease Patients (Stages 2, 3 and 4)
… and forms the basis of classification for kidney function. Moreover the interpretation of risk factors for progression of CKD linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains difficult, particularly in older subjects. To address this GFR and the cardiovascular parameters arterial stiffness, heart …

The impact of exercise and thermal training interventions on thermoregulatory and cardiovascular function in young and post-menopausal females
… female reproductive hormone oestrogen influences cardiovascular and thermoregulatory control. A dramatic decline in oestrogen during the menopause causes cardiovascular and thermoregulatory dysfunction resulting in hot flushes (HFs). HFs consist of feelings of intense heat with rapid increases in …

Cardiovascular function in animal models of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes : the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)
… been shown to be associated with compromised cardiovascular function in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes. The aim of the project is to investigate cardiovascular abnormalities in a rat model of type 2 diabetes (Zucker diabetes fatty or ZDF rats) and two models of metabolic syndrome …

Physiological Role of the α<sub>2</sub>-Isoform of the Na, K-ATPase in the Regulation of Cardiovascular Function
… isoform of the Na,K-ATPase expressed in the cardiovascular system but is thought play a critical role in the regulation of systolic blood pressure (SBP). However, the organ system/cell type expressing α<sub>2</sub> that is required for this regulation has not been fully defined. The present …

EXPRESSION, PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TWO RECOMBINANT FORMS OF HUMAN RENALASE, A NEW PROTEIN INVOLVED IN BLOOD PRESSURE AND CARDIOVASCULAR FUNCTION REGULATION
Cardiovascular complications represent one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Even mild to moderate renal injuries, besides total functionality loss, are proven to correlate with increased cardiovascular risk. The hypothesis that the kidney may fill …

Kinematic Modeling of the Determinants of Diastolic Function
… used in clinical cardiology to determine cardiovascular function, and many of the indexes derived from these modalities are causally interconnected. A correlative approach to cardiovascular function however, where indexes are correlated to disease presence and progression, fails to fully …

Cardiovascular effects of a low and a high dose of fentanyl in the isoflurane anesthetized dog: the influence of the anesthetic-sparing effect and the correction of bradycardia
… dog, with the end goal of reducing detrimental cardiovascular effects seen with their use. While fentanyl has been investigated in this context with the older agent enflurane, this agent is no longer in common use. In the current literature, no studies exist that compare the effects of low and …

Exercise Induced Plasticity in Central Neural Regulation of Cardiovascular Functioning in Hypertensive Rats
… ability to affect central neural regulation of cardiovascular function in hypertensive rats. These findings suggest that the central nervous system may play a larger role in mediating the positive cardiovascular effects of exercise than previously thought.
