Elevated Serum Trimethylamine N-Oxide Predicts Impaired Vascular Reactivity in Patients with Hypertension [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground/Objectives: Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut microbiota-derived metabolite influenced by diet, has been linked to cardiovascular disease. Endothelial dysfunction, an early sign of vascular damage, is common in hypertension.

Objective Diagnosis of Migraine without Aura with Migraine Vascular Index: A Novel Formula to Assess Vasomotor Reactivity [PDF]
Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, 2020 This pilot study was aimed at developing an objective method to diagnose migraine by measuring the difference in vasomotor reactivity between migraineurs and non-migraineurs. Thirty patients diagnosed with migraine without aura and 30 healthy patients were recruited. Vasomotor reactivity of all patients was then assessed by measuring the breath holding

Pulse transit time as an index of vascular reactivity
Journal of the Pakistan Medical AssociationPulse transit time (PTT) is a non-invasive method for measuring arterial compliance and stiffness, which are excellent predictors of cardiovascular disease. This study aims to determine whether PTT can be used to precisely monitor vascular reactivity in

Elevated p-Cresyl Sulfate Levels Are Associated with Impaired Endothelial Function in Patients Undergoing Long-Term Peritoneal Dialysis [PDF]
Lifep-Cresyl sulfate (PCS) is associated with endothelial injury and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, its association with endothelial function in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains unclear.

Serum Galectin-3 Levels Correlate with Reduced Vascular Reactivity in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]
MedicinaBackground and Objectives: Endothelial dysfunction is essential in the development and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD) and its complications. Galectin-3 mediates inflammation and organ fibrosis and promotes endothelial dysfunction. Meanwhile,

Serum adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein is associated with impaired endothelial function in nondialysis chronic kidney disease [PDF]
Tzu Chi Medical JournalObjectives: Adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) has been implicated in atherosclerosis, and endothelial dysfunction is a critical contributor to cardiovascular outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study evaluated links between serum A-

Insulin Resistance is Associated With Skin Microvascular Dysfunction and Reduced Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Hypertensive Patients [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical HypertensionMicrovascular dysfunction is an early manifestation of vascular damage in patients with hypertension and cardiometabolic disorders. Insulin resistance (IR) is linked closely to vascular dysfunction, and the triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index is a practical

Association of endothelial dysfunction with sarcopenia and muscle function in a relatively young cohort of kidney transplant recipients [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Sarcopenia and endothelial dysfunction are both common among kidney transplant (KT) recipients. We aimed to evaluate the association between endothelial dysfunction and sarcopenia, as well as its individual components.
