Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of Chronic Venous Insufficiency A Consensus Statement
TL;DR: The most frequent causes of CVI are primary abnormalities of the venous wall and the valves and secondary changes due to previous venous thrombosis that can lead to reflux, obstruction, or both as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular nitric oxide: Beyond eNOS
TL;DR: Dysfunction in the production and/or the bioavailability of NO characterizes endothelial dysfunction, which is associated with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endothelium-Dependent Hyperpolarization Beyond Nitric Oxide and Cyclic GMP
TL;DR: Normal vascular homeostasis depends in the periphery on a balance between neurally and humorally mediated vasoconstriction in skeletal muscle, mesentery, and the kidney, and local endothelium-dependent vasodilatation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Semilunar Cardiac Valve Remodeling by Activated Cells From Fetus to Adult Implications for Postnatal Adaptation, Pathology, and Tissue Engineering
Elena Aikawa,Peter Whittaker,Mark Farber,Karen Mendelson,Robert F. Padera,Masanori Aikawa,Frederick J. Schoen +6 more
TL;DR: Fetal valves possess a dynamic/adaptive structure and contain cells with an activated/immature phenotype, which suggests a progressive, environmentally mediated adaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alterations in vasomotor tone in congestive heart failure
Robert Zelis,Stephen F. Flaim +1 more
TL;DR: How the type of heart disease, the stage of development of heart failure, and the time course of development can alter the vasomotor response is illustrated.
