Hemorheological Failure in the Pathology of Cardio-vascular Complications in Patients with Diabetic Foot Syndrome [PDF]
The literature that includes the study of cardiovascular complications in patients with diabetic foot syndrome was analyzed. The topicality of this problem is caused by the steady growth of diabetes mellitus morbidity among people.

Intramyocardial hemorrhage: An enigma for cardiac MRI? [PDF]
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a useful noninvasive technique for determining the presence of microvascular obstruction (MVO) and intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH), frequently occurring in patients after reperfused myocardial infarction (MI ...

Diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease. the role of ion channels [PDF]
Diabetes mellitus is one the strongest risk factors for cardiovascular disease and, in particular, for ischemic heart disease (IHD). The pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia in diabetic patients is complex and not fully understood: some diabetic ...

Regulation of the human coronary microcirculation [PDF]
Atherosclerosis of conduit epicardial arteries is the principal culprit behind the complications of coronary heart disease, but a growing body of literature indicates that the coronary microcirculation also contributes substantially to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease.

The effect of DPP-4-protected GLP-1 (7–36) on coronary microvascular function in obese adults
Objective: Glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor analogues have been shown to reduce cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, the mechanism behind is still unknown.

ACE-inhibition prevents postischemic coronary leukocyte adhesion and leukocyte-dependent reperfusion injury [PDF]
Objective: Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), retained in the microvascular bed, can contribute to postischemic myocardial reperfusion injury. Since a beneficial effect of ACE-inhibition on reperfusion injury has been reported, we investigated the ...

Mathematical modeling of local perfusion in large distensible microvascular networks [PDF]
Microvessels -blood vessels with diameter less than 200 microns- form large, intricate networks organized into arterioles, capillaries and venules. In these networks, the distribution of flow and pressure drop is a highly interlaced function of single ...

Association of C2, a derivative of the radial artery pressure waveform, with new onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus: the MESA study. [PDF]
BackgroundAlthough microvascular dysfunction is known to result from diabetes, it might also lead to diabetes. Lower values of C2, a derivative of the radial artery pressure waveform, indicate microvascular dysfunction and predict hypertension and ...
