Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of hyperuricemia upon endothelial function in patients at increased cardiovascular risk
Giuseppe Mercuro,Cristiana Vitale,Elena Cerquetani,Sandra Zoncu,Martino Deidda,Massimo Fini,Giuseppe M.C. Rosano +6 more
TL;DR: Three-month therapy with allopurinol improved FMD in hyperuricemic subjects, showing an intrinsic negative effect of elevated UA levels on the arterial wall; conversely, FMD remained unchanged in controls, thus suggesting that the reduction of UA to less than a certain value does not affect endothelial function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of a role of endogenous estrogen in the modulation of autonomic nervous system.
Giuseppe Mercuro,Alessandro Sebastian Podda,Luisa Pitzalis,Sandra Zoncu,Monica Mascia,Gian Benedetto Melis,Giuseppe M.C. Rosano +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied heart rate variability in 14 healthy women before and after oophorectomy compared with 14 matched women who underwent hysterectomy with ovarian conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estradiol-17β reduces blood pressure and restores the normal amplitude of the circadian blood pressure rhythm in postmenopausal hypertension
Giuseppe Mercuro,Sandra Zoncu,Davide Piano,Isa Pilia,Adriana Lao,Gian Benedetto Melis,Angelo Cherchi +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that postmenopausal women affected by mild hypertension with no target-organ complications by means of 24-h BP monitoring could be attributed to the activity of E2 in preserving physiologic circadian fluctuation of BP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of regional systolic and diastolic wall motion velocities in highly trained athletes by pulsed wave Doppler tissue imaging.
TL;DR: The usefulness of PWDTI in the assessment of functional properties of "athlete's heart" and differentiation from pathologic cardiac conditions is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired forearm blood flow and vasodilator reserve in healthy postmenopausal women.
TL;DR: The data support the possibility that reduction in dilator capacity of the vasculature may contribute to the increase of cardiovascular disease after menopause, and abnormalities observed in forearm blood flow and vasodilator capacity in postmenopausal women may be attributed to a critical loss of the Vasodilating property of physiologic estrogen.
