Arterial endothelial function is impaired in treated depression.
OBJECTIVES To determine whether patients with treated depression but no other risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) have abnormal arterial endothelial function, an abnormality that is common to other acquired risk factors for CHD. DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING Secondary care departments of cardiology and psychiatry in a single centre and the surrounding community. PARTICIPANT...
متن کاملExecutive Function Is Selectively Impaired in Old Age Bipolar Depression
Background: Little is known about the cognitive signature of bipolar disorder (BD) in elderly brains. The neuropsychological features of depressive elderly with early-onset BD are largely unknown. This issue is relevant because cognitive impairment can produce an additional impact on the already compromised functionality of elderly with BD. The aim of this study is to assess executive functions...
متن کاملEndothelial function is impaired in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy.
BACKGROUND Data supporting a link between body-fat distribution changes and cardiovascular disease risk in HIV-infected patients are scarce and contradictory. We evaluated endothelial dysfunction, an early event in the development of atherosclerosis, and pro-atherosclerotic plasma biomarkers in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy. METHODS HIV-infected patients with and without lipodystro...
متن کاملImpaired microvascular reactivity and endothelial function in patients with Cushing's syndrome: influence of arterial hypertension.
The aim of the study was to evaluate skin microvascular reactivity (MVR) and possible influencing factors (fibrinolysis, oxidative stress, and endothelial function) in patients with Cushing's syndrome. Twenty-nine patients with active Cushing's syndrome (ten of them also examined after a successful operation) and 16 control subjects were studied. Skin MVR was measured by laser Doppler flowmetry...
متن کاملRestoration of impaired endothelial myocyte enhancer factor 2 function rescues pulmonary arterial hypertension.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease of the pulmonary arterioles, characterized by increased pulmonary arterial pressure and right ventricular failure. The cause of PAH is complex, but aberrant proliferation of the pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs) and pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells is thought to play an important role in its pathogenesis. Und...
