Surrogate markers for cardiovascular disease: functional markers.
Endothelial Dysfunction The endothelium constitutes the largest organ system in the body. “Endothelial function” refers to a multitude of physiological functions of the vascular endothelium that are achieved via secretion of diverse bioactive substances. This renders the endothelium an active participant in healthy homeostasis of the vascular wall that includes normal vasomotion, inhibition of ...
متن کاملSurrogate markers for cardiovascular disease: structural markers.
Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Pignoli et al1 validated the concept that intima-media thickness (IMT), as measured by B-mode ultrasound and applied either in vitro or in situ at the time of autopsy, reflected direct measurements of aortic and/or carotid specimens. Values obtained by ultrasound at autopsy and by direct measurement were similar to those obtained from living subjects. The characte...
متن کاملSurrogate markers for atherosclerotic disease.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Novel treatment modalities for cardiovascular prevention are emerging rapidly. Since it is virtually impossible to evaluate all these new compounds in long-term trials using clinical end points, there is an urgent need for validated surrogate markers of atherosclerosis to save both time and costs. Over the last decade, the use of imaging markers has been widely introduced into...
متن کاملPediatric Blood Pressure and Adult Preclinical Markers of Cardiovascular Disease.
A high blood pressure level in adults is considered the single most important modifiable risk factor for global disease burden, especially those of cardiovascular (CV) origin such as stroke and ischemic heart disease. Because blood pressure levels have been shown to persist from childhood to adulthood, elevations in pediatric levels have been hypothesized to lead to increased CV burden in adult...
متن کاملVolume sensitivity of blood pressure in end-stage renal disease.
BACKGROUND The influence of interdialysis (ID) volume expansion on the blood pressure (BP) change and on the BP level at the end of the ID time period was studied in 167 chronic haemodialysis patients. Our analysis focused on 120 patients not receiving antihypertensive drugs (untreated group). The remaining 47 patients were receiving antihypertensive medication (treated group). METHODS The ID...
