TL;DR: The posttreatment basal GH concentration less than 2.5 microg/liter in acromegalic patients is associated with a normal lifespan, and excess mortality is confined to poorly controlled patients and possibly those who have received conventional radiotherapy.

TL;DR: Coronary flow reserve is impaired in young adult males with IDDM and no or minimal microvascular complications and without any evidence of coronary heart disease, which implies early impairment of coronary vascular reactivity in IDDM patients, which may represent an early precursor of future coronary heart diseases or contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: Women are more sensitive to insulin than equally fit men because of enhanced muscle but not heart insulin sensitivity, and gender and VO2max together explained 68% of the variation in femoral muscle glucose uptake.

TL;DR: These results demonstrate reduced coronary reactivity present in young asymptomatic men with borderline hypertension and no signs of hypertension-induced angina or left ventricular hypertrophy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTE) and positron emission tomography (PET) to measure coronary flow reserve.
