Early detection of vascular inflammation would allow deployment targeted strategies for the prevention or treatment multiple disease states. Because is not detectable with commonly used imaging modalities, we hypothesized that phenotypic changes in perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) induced by could be quantified using a new computerized tomography (CT) angiography methodology. We show inflamed human vessels release cytokines prevent lipid accumulation PVAT-derived preadipocytes vitro, ex...
Background— Adiponectin is an adipokine with potentially important roles in human cardiovascular disease states. We studied the role of adiponectin cross-talk between adipose tissue and vascular redox state patients atherosclerosis. Methods Results— The study included 677 undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Endothelial function was evaluated by flow-mediated dilation brachial vivo vasomotor studies saphenous vein segments ex vivo. Vascular superoxide (O 2 − ) endothelial nitric...
Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the vascular complications of type 2 diabetes. We examined effect diabetes on NADPH oxidase human vessels and explored mechanisms this interaction. Segments internal mammary arteries (IMAs) with their perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) thoracic were obtained from 386 patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery (127 diabetes). Type was strongly correlated hypoadiponectinemia increased oxidase–derived superoxide anions (O2˙−). The genetic variability...
The cardiovascular system is significantly affected in coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). Microvascular injury, endothelial dysfunction, and thrombosis resulting from viral infection or indirectly related to the intense systemic inflammatory immune responses are characteristic features of severe COVID-19. Pre-existing disease load linked myocardial injury worse outcomes. vascular response cytokine production interaction between acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)...
Myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury (MIRI) remains a challenge in the context of reperfusion procedures for myocardial infarction (MI). While early revascularization stands as gold standard mitigating injury, recent insights have illuminated paradoxical role reperfusion, giving rise to phenomenon known injury. This comprehensive review delves into intricate pathophysiological pathways involved MIRI, placing particular focus on pivotal endothelium. Beyond elucidating molecular intricacies,...
