In this study, a quantitative research method is utilized to gather data via a survey approach using questionnaires. The data were acquired from members of ACE, SAs, academia, religious preachers, banks...

Role and function of the Carotid Intima Media Thickness (CIMT) and atherosclerotic Plaque (P) in clinical management of cardiovascular risk factors is yet unclear. Cardiovascular Risk Factor Stratification (SCORE) and CIMT with P typing and visualization were assessed in 269 asymptomatic individuals...

Background. Organic nitrates (e.g. nitroglycerin) are highly selective dilators of muscular conduit arteries. By contrast, the endogenous inorganic nitrite anion (NO2−) is thought to be a hypoxia-dependent dilator of small resistance arterioles, via its reduction to vasodilating nitric oxide (NO) by...

Objectives: Anatomical and physiological data on the forearm venous vascular bed is needed to (i) gain insight into the complex arterial and venous remodeling processes after creation of an arterio-venous fistula, and (ii) provide input data for computer models of the forearm vasculature. Methods: Ultrasound...

Background. No prospective study has examined whether markers of the central hemodynamics, e.g., central pulse pressure, might be a more robust marker of change in the cardiac hemodynamic load, estimated by the change during the study period of the serum levels of N-terminal fragment B-type natriuretic...

Although the viscoelasticity of large arteries has been extensively investigated, few studies have focused on arterial wall viscosity (AWV) itself and its regulation by the endothelium in vivo. This is of particular importance since AWV is a major source of energy dissipation through the vascular system...

Background. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is widely recognised as an effective surgical method in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with significant internal carotid artery stenosis. Although the association between vulnerable carotid plaques and stroke is well established, little is known about...
