Sex Differences in Collateral Remodeling Following Hindlimb Arterial Occlusion
… evidence indicates a higher incidence of peripheral arterial occlusive disease and associated likelihood of critical limb ischemia in women, as well as worse prognosis and decreased survival post myocardial infarction. Therefore, understanding the possible differences in underlying …

The Impact of Outward Remodeling on Vasodilation in Skeletal Muscle Resistance Arteries
<p>Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) is an ischemic disease characterized by narrowing of the peripheral arteries due to the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaque in the inner lining of the vessels, which disrupts blood flow to downstream tissues. Blood can be redirected into collateral …

The Impacts of Arterial Occlusion, Sex, and Exercise on Arteriogenesis and Functional Vasodilation
<p>The most frequent clinical presentation of peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) is intermittent claudication, which may be caused by impaired vasodilation. Patients demonstrate both local and systemic impairments in vasodilation, but as the collateral circulation is the primary site of …

Vascular Reactivity in Newly-Formed and Mature Arterialized Collateral Capillaries
<p>Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) is a globally-prevalent cardiovascular disease in which atherosclerotic plaques narrow arterial lumen diameters and restrict blood flow to downstream tissues. The impact of these occlusions can be mitigated by collateral vessels that connect parallel …

Investigating Hemodynamic Responses to Electrical Neurostimulation
… number of deaths attributable to cardiovascular disease has steadily risen. With the advent of antihypertensive drugs and non-invasive surgical procedures, such as intravascular stenting, these numbers have begun to level off. Despite this trend, the number of patients diagnosed with some form of …

The Impacts of Sex and Myogenic Cell Transplantation on Collateral Capillary Arteriogenesis
<p>Current treatments for peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) have limited success, so there is a need to develop more effective treatments. Because patients with native collaterals have a better prognosis, promoting collateral arteriogenesis is a potential PAOD treatment. Additionally, …
