Journal ArticleDOI

Oral glucose loading acutely attenuates endothelium-dependent vasodilation in healthy adults without diabetes: an effect prevented by vitamins C and E.

Lawrence M. Title, +3 more
- 01 Dec 2000 - 
TL;DR: Oral glucose loading causes an acute, transient decrease of endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery in healthy subjects without diabetes, which is prevented by vitamins C and E, indicating that vitamins prevented the glucose-induced attenuation of FMD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of folic acid and antioxidant vitamins on endothelial dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease

Lawrence M. Title, +4 more
- 01 Sep 2000 - 
TL;DR: Folic acid supplementation significantly improved endothelial dysfunction in patients with coronary atherosclerosis, and further clinical trials are required to determine whether folic Acid supplementation may reduce cardiovascular events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Folic acid improves endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes--an effect independent of homocysteine-lowering.

Lawrence M. Title, +4 more
- 01 May 2006 - 
TL;DR: 2 weeks of folic acid supplementation can improve endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetics independent of homocysteine-lowering, but does not modulate markers of inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition with rofecoxib on endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory markers in patients with coronary artery disease.

Lawrence M. Title, +4 more
- 19 Nov 2003 - 
TL;DR: The addition of selective COX-2 inhibition with rofecoxib did not appear to have any favorable or adverse effects on endothelial dysfunction or vascular inflammation in patients with CAD using concomitant low-dose aspirin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Remote Monitoring of Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices in Canada: Survey of Patients and Device Health Care Professionals.

Shannon Kelly, +13 more
TL;DR: Lack of a unified, guideline-supported approach to follow-up after CIED implant, and discrepant funding policies across jurisdictions, are significant barriers to the use of remote patient management strategies in Canada.
