Effects of Aspirin on Endothelial Function and Hypertension
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Endothelial dysfunction is intimately related to the development of various cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, and is often used as a target for pharmacological treatment. The scope of this review is to assess effects of aspirin on endothelial function and their clinical implication in arterial hypertension. RECENT FINDINGS Emerging data indicate the role of pl...
متن کاملEndothelial function in clinical pulmonary hypertension.
The endothelium regulates the concentrations of several types of vasoactive substances that affect pulmonary vascular tone, and endothelia can oppose vasoconstriction in some circumstances by releasing vasodilators. To assess some of these endothelial functions in patients with pulmonary hypertension, we made measurements of selected vasoactive substances before and during attempts at pharmacol...
متن کاملTorcetrapib impairs endothelial function in hypertension.
AIMS A marked increase in HDL notwithstanding, the cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor torcetrapib was associated with an increase in all-cause mortality in the ILLUMINATE trial. As underlying mechanisms remain elusive, the present study was designed to delineate potential off-target effects of torcetrapib. METHODS AND RESULTS Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and Wistar-...
متن کاملComparison of aspirin renogram and captopril renogram in the diagnosis of renovascular hypertension
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Preliminary data indicate that aspirin renography with hippurate may be more sensitive for detection RAS. In this study 20 patients with known or suspected RAS underwent aspirin renography (20 mg/kg orally 1 hour before injection of radiotracer) and captopril renography (50 mg orally) with 99mTc-DTPA. Renal an...
متن کاملRelationship between endothelial function and fibrinolysis in early hypertension.
Abnormalities in fibrinolysis, endothelial function, and glucose and lipid metabolism have been reported in hypertension. This study was conducted to examine the interrelationships between fibrinolytic factors, glucose and lipid metabolism, and endothelial function in hypertension. The effects of administering an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, benazepril, were also examined. Blood lev...
