Impaired coronary blood flow at higher heart rates during atrial fibrillation: investigation via multiscale modelling [PDF]
Background. Different mechanisms have been proposed to relate atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary flow impairment, even in absence of relevant coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the underlying hemodynamics remains unclear.

Syndrome X and Microvascular Coronary Dysfunction [PDF]
C ase presentation: A 44-year-old woman is referred for worsening chest pain since 2007, with abnormal stress testing in May 2008, followed by coronary angiography in June 2008. She had several prior hospitalizations to evaluate possible myocardial infarction, and 1 with an elevated troponin level in 2001.

Bimodal modulation of nitric oxide in endothelial cells is achieved by light‐sensitive polymer nanoparticles. In dark, P3HT/PEDOT:PSS NPs boost intracellular ·NO, upregulate both endothelial and induced nitric oxide synthase, and drive a metabolic shift toward glycolysis.

Evaluation of the zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rat as a model for human disease based on urinary peptidomic profiles [PDF]
Representative animal models for diabetes-associated vascular complications are extremely relevant in assessing potential therapeutic drugs. While several rodent models for type 2 diabetes (T2D) are available, their relevance in recapitulating renal and ...

Coronary microvascular dysfunction. Diagnostics and therapy of non-obstructive coronary diseases
In patients with angina, the ischaemia in the absence of obstructive coronary disease and other heart disease in 30-60% of coronarographies may be due to coronary microvascular dysfunction – coronary microvascular artery disease.

Single and fractionated ionizing radiation induce alterations in endothelial connexin expression and channel function [PDF]
Radiotherapy is an effective treatment for most tumor types. However, emerging evidence indicates an increased risk for atherosclerosis after ionizing radiation exposure, initiated by endothelial cell dysfunction. Interestingly, endothelial cells express
