Exercise and peripheral vascular function in health and disease
… origin” [1]. Knowledge that one’s risk for cardiovascular events is related to the severity of endothelial dysfunction, and evidence that exercise training can improve endothelial function, has prompted speculation that measures of vascular function may serve as a “barometer” for cardiovascular …

Novel Interventions to Improve Cerebral and Peripheral Vascular Function
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Complications associated with CVD encompass the entire vascular system, including blood vessels that supply brain. Impairments to cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebrovascular function result in increased risk of …

Peripheral Vascular Function in Young Adults with Increased Risk of Cardiometabolic Disease
… scores (MetS<sub>index</sub>) suffer from peripheral vasculature dysfunction.</p> <p>Methods: Mean arterial pressure (MAP), Femoral (FBF) and Brachial Blood flow (BBF), Femoral (FVC) and Brachial Vascular Conductance (BVC), and Tissue Saturation Index (TSI) were assessed in twenty-four age …

Left ventricular function after ultra-distance triathlon : response is dependent on the cardiac loading conditions
… have identified the effects of alterations in peripheral vascular function on left ventricular function after prolonged exercise. The research study in this thesis is to evaluate if the loading conditions of the heart affect the echocardiographic measurements after exercise that may be …

Design and potential clinical impact of a noninvasive thermal diffusion sensor to monitor human peripheral microvascular perfusion in real-time
Perfusion in peripheral tissues is fundamental to the characterization of both local and global cardiovascular health. However, despite the inherent accessibility of tissues such as skin to microvascular measurements, there is still a need for routine, noninvasive methods for obtaining relevant …

Peripheral and Cerebrovascular Function during the Female Lifespan
… female hormone oestrogen is thought to influence vascular physiology throughout the female lifespan particularly during life events such as menopause and pregnancy. The rapid decline in oestrogen during the menopause is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk, potentially via reduced …

Role of SFLT-1 in vascular regulation in pregnancy and its effect on fetal vascular programming
Various angiogenic growth factors, such as the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placental growth factors (PlGF), have been shown to play an important role in the vascular physiologic changes occurring during pregnancy; therefore inhibition of these factors by a circulating scavenger …

Insulin resistance and cardiovascular function - Observational, translational and interventional studies
Background: Microvascular disease 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 …

Effects of Tea on Peripheral and Cerebral Micro- and Macrovascular Function in Humans
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of global mortality, with the incidence of cardiovascular related pathologies remaining a public health burden. CVD encompasses pathologies of the vascular tree and heart, including, for example, peripheral artery disease, coronary heart disease and …
