Microvascular Dysfunction in Sepsis
Microcirculation, 2000ABSTRACTThe microvascular dysfunction which occurs in sepsis involves all three elements of the microcirculation: arterioles, capillaries, and venules. In sepsis, the arterioles are hyporesponsive to vasoconstrictors and vasodilators. Sepsis also reduces the number of perfused capillaries, thereby impacting on oxygen diffusion to mitochondria.

Advances in Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction
Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2009Considerable focus has been directed towards coronary arterial disease in the management of coronary heart disease, however the coronary microcirculation plays a major role in the regulation of coronary blood flow. Thus while we have multiple medical and revascularisation therapies to treat large vessel coronary artery disease, therapies directed ...

Microvascular Dysfunction in the Critically Ill
Critical Care Clinics, 2020Microvascular dysfunction is a frequent complication of many chronic and acute conditions, especially in the critically ill. Moreover, the severity of microvascular alterations is associated with development of organ dysfunction and poor outcome. The complexities and heterogeneity of critical illness, especially in the elderly patient, requires more ...

Pathophysiology of coronary microvascular dysfunction
Vascular Pharmacology, 2023The term "coronary microvascular dysfunction" (CMD) encompasses several pathogenetic mechanisms resulting in functional and/or structural changes in the coronary microcirculation. CMD often determines angina and myocardial ischemia in a broad spectrum of cardiovascular diseases, including patients with ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries or

Coronary microembolization and microvascular dysfunction
International Journal of Cardiology, 2018Plaque erosion, fissuring or rupture occurs spontaneously or during coronary interventions. At some residual blood flow, the atherothrombotic debris is washed into the coronary microcirculation, causing physical obstruction, vasoconstriction, inflammation and ultimately microinfarction.

Retinal microvascular dysfunction in hypercholesterolemia
Journal of Clinical Lipidology, 2018Hypercholesterolemia is one of the most important contributors to atherosclerosis. Whether hypercholesterolemia also affects the retinal microcirculation is unclear.The goal of our study was to assess the association of cholesterol levels with retinal microvascular function using dynamic and static retinal vessel analysis (RVA) in a primary prevention ...

Microvascular dysfunction in infiltrative cardiomyopathies
Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2019Infiltrative heart diseases are characterized by myocardial tissue alterations leading to mechanical dysfunction which in turn develops into bi-ventricular congestive heart failure. Also the coronary microvasculature undergoes significant remodeling and dysfunction.

Microvascular dysfunction in the surgical patient
Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2010This review aims to describe recent research on perioperative microvascular alterations, with an emphasis on direct visualization of the human microcirculation.Despite systemic haemodynamic optimization, perioperative complications are still occurring.

Microvascular disease and motoric dysfunction
Neurology, 2013Buchman et al.1 report that the presence of microvascular disease (microinfarcts, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and arteriolosclerosis) in brain autopsies done in 850 community-dwelling older adults was associated with motor impairments measured prior to death. These and other microvascular lesions such as cortical microbleeds are common in aging brains,
