Cerebral hyperemia in MELAS.
BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of stroke-like episodes in MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes) is uncertain. CASE DESCRIPTION We studied a 24-year-old man with MELAS who had fluent aphasia and right hemianopia. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography showed a large infarction in the parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes. We performed ...
متن کاملReactive hyperemia revisited.
To the Editor: We read with great interest Dr Huang’s study, published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology.1 We are in total agreement with the authors about the clinical relevance in the perioperative setting of the hyperemic flow velocity, measured by brachial artery Doppler ultrasound. Dr Huang suggests that reactive hyperemia increases the accuracy of the noninvasive vascu...
متن کاملReactive hyperemia and cardiovascular risk.
Since the description of the classical cardiovascular risk factors by the Framingham group some 50 years ago,1 more recent efforts have explored the utility of biomarkers to further refine risk stratification. Although vascular imaging and biochemical markers have shown considerable promise,2 assessment of vascular function has particular appeal. Endothelial dysfunction is an attendant feature ...
متن کاملHyaluronidase treatment of coronary glycocalyx increases reactive hyperemia but not adenosine hyperemia in dog hearts.
Because adenosine is commonly used for inducing maximal coronary hyperemia in the clinic, it is imperative that adenosine-induced hyperemia (AH) resembles coronary hyperemia that can be attained by endogenous stimuli. In the present study we hypothesized that coronary reactive hyperemia (RH) is limited compared with AH due to the presence of the glycocalyx and that the AH response is therefore ...
متن کاملReactive Hyperemia in Human Forearm Vessels
Background The role of nitric oxide (NO) in reactive hyperemia (RH) is not well known. We investigated whether NO plays a role in RH in human forearm vessels by examining the effects of N0-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), a blocker of NO synthesis, on reactive hyperemic flow. Methods and Results Forearm blood flow (FBF) was measured by strain-gauge plethysmography with a venous occlusion techniq...
