Aims Despite growing interest in biomarkers application for risk evaluation acute pulmonary embolism (APE), no decision-making levels have been defined.
Objective. To compare the effect of ARB and ACE inhibitor on sympathetic activity in 32 hypertensives. Design Methods. After a four-week wash-out period, patients were randomized to four weeks therapy with enalapril or telmisrtan, crossover another drug for weeks. Blood pressure (BP), NPY, catecholamine levels HRV (frequency analysis) measured during wash-out, basal condition, after postural stimulation test (PST). Results. Both drugs significantly reduced BP NPY as compared initial values,...
1. Kidney denervation in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) during the prehypertensive stage delays and attenuates development of hypertension. The same results have been obtained after elimination adrenal–renal portal circulation (ARPC). aim present study was to investigate influence concomitant kidney ARPC on hypertension SHR. 2. Experiments were performed 6‐week‐old male SHR Wistar‐Kyoto (WKY) rats. In first group animals (group I), eliminated by removing left adrenal gland right...
A 53-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and sleep apnea was admitted to the hospital for evaluation of recurrent syncopal episodes induced by paroxysmal cough. Loss consciousness brief, preceded sensation “fullness in head.” Syncope provoked also prolonged expiration during spirometry, which revealed severe bronchial obstruction. However, oxygen saturation on room air blood gases were within normal limits. To reproduce reported symptoms, Valsalva maneuver (VM)...
Hyperoxia increases total peripheral resistance by acting locally but also inhibits the activity of carotid body chemoreceptors. We studied effect hyperoxia on central pressure in normotensive subjects.Medical air followed 100% oxygen was provided to 19 subjects (12/7 female/male, age 28.2 ±1.1 years) for 15 min through a non-rebreather mask. Central blood then measured using applanation tonometry.After first 2 hyperoxia, heart rate decreased significantly (65 ±2.6 beats/min vs. 61 ±2.1...
Effective treatment, but also proper diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, remains a major challenge in everyday practice. A quick, safe, and economically acceptable non-invasive procedure should play leading role risk assessment before invasive diagnostics is performed. The staging subclinical atherosclerosis may help further clinical decisions. Safe, widely available, relatively inexpensive, ultrasonography promising examination that find wider application latest ESC guidelines emphasize...
Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), forming a blood reservoir alters the geometry of aorta, which along with increased stiffness wall modifies central pressure wave, especially reflected wave. The aim study was to compare indices arterial recorded by pulse wave analysis (PWA) between patients AAA and controls. Material methods: Sixty-nine (from 75 originally included) asymptomatic 69 74) age-, sex- body mass index (BMI)-matching as control group were analysed. following variables...
Studies on trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) by facial cooling (FC) could give an insight to physiological mechanisms of cardiovascular response activation both parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. We hypothesised that would positively influence the factors which increase left ventricle work. The aim present study was investigate hemodynamic changes assessed pulse wave analysis (PWA) in very early phase this reflex. In 15 young (aged 20.3±1.3 y/o; mean ±SD) healthy individuals...
