Changes in Pulmonary Arterial Wall Mechanical Properties and Lumenal Architecture with Induced Vascular Remodeling [PDF]
, 2004 To explore and quantify pulmonary arterial remodeling we used various methods including micro-CT, high-resolution 3-dimensional x-ray imaging, to examine the structure and function of intact pulmonary vessels in isolated rat lungs.

Echocardiography combined with cardiopulmonary exercise testing for the prediction of outcome in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) function is a major determinant of exercise intolerance and outcome in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). The aim of the study was to evaluate the incremental prognostic value of echocardiography of the

Cognitive dysfunctions in patients with hypertension — pathogenesis and treatment
Arterial Hypertension, 2022 Memory disorders are one of the most frequent abnormalities found in the elderly. The dominant cause of the disorder is dementia of Alzheimer’s type (about 60%), vascular dementia is responsible for 15–20% of cases, and the rest are mixed forms.

The role of endothelin-1 in pulmonary arterial hypertension. [PDF]
, 2014 Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare but debilitating disease, which if left untreated rapidly progresses to right ventricular failure and eventually death. In the quest to understand the pathogenesis of this disease differences in the profile,

Ventricular-arterial coupling: changes with ageing and implications across cardiovascular conditions
Blood PressurePurpose Ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) is a crucial concept in cardiovascular physiology, representing the dynamic interaction between the left ventricle and the arterial system.

Gender-Specific Protection from Microvessel Rarefaction in Female Hypertensive Rats [PDF]
, 1998 Epidemiologic studies reveal that women have a significantly lower age-adjusted morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease than men, suggesting that gender is a cardiovascular disease risk factor.
