Research regarding the interactions between the endothelium and immune cells has undergone a significant expansion during the past decade. Major shifts of emphasis have been the norm, from the production of a detail catalog ...

Several studies have shown the role of the diet in cardiovascular diseases (CVD) as well as the action of nutrients, especially fatty acids, on endothelial dysfunction. These findings directed nutritional guidelines that ...

Although it is known that obesity, diabetes, and Kawasaki's disease play important roles in systemic inflammation and in the development of both endothelial dysfunction and cardiomyopathy, there is a lack of data regarding ...

Background: Systemic endothelial dysfunction and increased oxidative stress have been observed in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We evaluate whether oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction are associated with ...

Endothelial dysfunction is a systemic pathological state of the endothelium characterized by a reduction in the bioavailability of vasodilators, essentially nitric oxide, leading to impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation, ...

Background: Cocaine use has been related with the development of accelerated atherosclerosis and with an increased risk of cardiac and cerebrovascular events, such as myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, and ischemic ...
