International Journal of Vascular Medicine, 2016 Background. Endothelial function is viewed as a barometer of cardiovascular health and plays a central role in vascular reactivity. Several studies showed digital thermal monitoring (DTM) as a simple noninvasive method to measure vascular reactivity that

Impact of a Proprietary Standardized Olive Fruit Extract (SOFE) on Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index, Visual Analog Scale and C-Reactive Protein Assessments in Subjects with Arterial Stiffness Risk [PDF]
Drugs in R&D, 2016 The chemical components of olive fruit provide a wide range of cardiovascular benefits. Arterial stiffness is an important cardiovascular risk factor and can be assessed using the Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI).The objective of this study was to assess the impact of a proprietary standardized olive fruit extract (SOFE) in subjects at risk for ...

NT-proBNP levels, atherosclerosis and vascular function in asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria: peripheral reactive hyperaemia index but not NT-proBNP is an independent predictor of coronary atherosclerosis [PDF]
Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2011 Intensive multifactorial treatment aimed at cardiovascular (CV) risk factor reduction in type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria can diminish fatal and non-fatal CV. Plasma N-terminal (NT)-proBNP predicts CV mortality in diabetic patients but the utility of P-NT-proBNP in screening for atherosclerosis is unclear.

Expansion Duroplasty Improves Intraspinal Pressure, Spinal Cord Perfusion Pressure, and Vascular Pressure Reactivity Index in Patients with Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: Injured Spinal Cord Pressure Evaluation Study [PDF]
Journal of Neurotrauma, 2015 We recently showed that, after traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI), laminectomy does not improve intraspinal pressure (ISP), spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP), or the vascular pressure reactivity index (sPRx) at the injury site sufficiently because of dural compression.

Relationship between post‐occlusive forearm skin reactive hyperaemia and vascular disease in patients with Type 2 diabetes—a novel index for detecting micro‐ and macrovascular dysfunction using laser Doppler flowmetry [PDF]
Diabetic Medicine, 2009 AbstractAims To investigate the relationship between the novel post‐occlusive forearm skin reactive hyperaemia (PORH) index and macro‐ and microangiopathy by comparing it with traditional indices and a morphological analysis of skin blood flow after ischaemia.Methods We studied 20 control subjects and 104 patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...
