Captopril improves impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation in hypertensive patients.
Animal studies suggest that some angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors augment endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation. We aimed to determine if captopril augments endothelium-dependent vasodilation in middle-aged hypertensive patients. By using strain-gauge plethysmography, forearm vasodilation evoked with intra-arterial acetylcholine (4, 8, 16, and 24 micrograms/min) or nitroprusside (0.2, 0....
متن کاملCalcium antagonist isradipine improves abnormal endothelium-dependent vasodilation in never treated hypertensive patients.
OBJECTIVE To examine whether middle (two months) and long-term (six months) isradipine sustained-release treatment improves endothelium-dependent vasodilation in never treated hypertensive patients. METHODS The responses of the forearm vasculature to acetylcholine (7.5, 15 and 30 micrograms/min) and sodium nitroprusside (0.8, 1.6, 3.2 micrograms/min) were evaluated in 12 normotensive controls...
متن کاملImpaired endothelium-dependent flow-mediated vasodilation in hypertensive subjects with hyperaldosteronism.
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that aldosterone may impair endothelium-dependent vascular function through suppression of nitric oxide formation. Assessments of forearm blood flow or arterial compliance suggest a similar effect in humans. The present study was designed to determine whether chronic aldosterone excess in subjects with resistant hypertension impairs endothelium-dependent vascul...
متن کاملCalcitriol supplementation improves endothelium-dependent vasodilation in rat hypertensive renal injury.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Vitamin D increases renal expression of klotho in normotensive rats. Klotho reduces oxidative stress. METHODS In this study, we aimed to determine if vitamin D would suppress oxidative stress using 4 groups of hypertensive rats: uninephrectomized, stroke-prone, spontaneously hypertensive rats fed a high-salt (6%) diet (controls; C); those treated with irbesartan (I); those tre...
متن کاملL-arginine improves endothelium-dependent vasodilation in hypercholesterolemic humans.
Endothelium-dependent vasodilation is impaired in hypercholesterolemia, even before the development of atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to determine whether infusion of L-arginine, the precursor of the endothelium-derived relaxing factor, nitric oxide, improves endothelium-dependent vasodilation in hypercholesterolemic humans. Vascular reactivity was measured in the forearm resist...
