Journal ArticleDOI
Red wine's antioxidants counteract acute endothelial dysfunction caused by cigarette smoking in healthy nonsmokers.
Christos Papamichael,Emmanouil N. Karatzis,Kalliopi Karatzi,Konstantinos Aznaouridis,Theodoros G. Papaioannou,Athanassios D. Protogerou,Kimon Stamatelopoulos,Antonis Zampelas,John Lekakis,Myron Mavrikakis +9 more
TL;DR: Simultaneous consumption of red wine or dealcoholized red wine with smoking decreased smoke's harmful effect on endothelium and caused a significant impairment in endothelial function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Prehypertension on Common Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness and Left Ventricular Mass
Efstathios Manios,Georgios Tsivgoulis,Eleni Koroboki,Kimon Stamatelopoulos,Christos Papamichael,S. T. Toumanidis,Elefterios Stamboulis,Konstantinos Vemmos,Nikolaos Zakopoulos +8 more
TL;DR: Prehypertension status is cross-sectionally associated with subclinical atherosclerosis and target-organ damage and greater CCA-IMT values were observed in hypertensive patients in comparison to prehypertensives (P=0.002).
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular ageing: Underlying mechanisms and clinical implications
TL;DR: The role of oxidative stress, telomere shortening, and ubiquitin proteasome system in endothelial cell senescence and dysfunction in vascular inflammation and in arterial stiffening is discussed and may be targeted to possibly delay the progression and adverse outcomes of vascular ageing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arterial stiffness assessed by pulse wave analysis in essential hypertension: relation to 24-h blood pressure profile.
John Lekakis,Nikos Zakopoulos,Athanasios Protogerou,Theodoros G. Papaioannou,Vassilios Kotsis,Vassiliki Pitiriga,Marios D. Tsitsirikos,Kimon Stamatelopoulos,Christos Papamichael,Myron Mavrikakis +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that blood pressure change from day- to nighttime is an important determinant of arterial stiffness assessed by pulse wave analysis; this association could contribute to the higher cardiovascular risk in nondippers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The TyG Index as a Marker of Subclinical Atherosclerosis and Arterial Stiffness in Lean and Overweight Postmenopausal Women.
Irene Lambrinoudaki,Maria Kazani,Eleni Armeni,Georgios Georgiopoulos,Konstantinos Tampakis,Demetrios Rizos,Areti Augoulea,Georgios Kaparos,Andreas Alexandrou,Kimon Stamatelopoulos +9 more
TL;DR: The TyG-Index is associated with carotid Atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness mainly in lean postmenopausal women, while the MS serves as a better predictor of subclinical atherosclerosis in overweight/obese women, and may prove a useful marker for identifying high-risk women in the normal-weight post menopausal population.
