Increased endothelial NOS in lambs with increased pulmonary blood flow and pulmonary hypertension.

Altered pulmonary vascular reactivity is a source of morbidity and mortality for children with congenital heart defects and increased pulmonary blood flow. Nitric oxide (NO) is an important mediator of pulmonary vascular reactivity. The objective of this study was to characterize potential early alterations in expression, localization, and activity of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) induced by i...

Pregnancy at high altitude in the Andes leads to increased total vessel density in healthy newborns.

The developing human fetus is able to cope with the physiological reduction in oxygen supply occurring in utero. However, it is not known if microvascularization of the fetus is augmented when pregnancy occurs at high altitude. Fifty-three healthy term newborns in Puno, Peru (3,840 m) were compared with sea-level controls. Pre- and postductal arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) was determined. Ce...

Increased coronary vessel wall thickness in HIV-infected young adults.

BACKGROUND Individuals with long-term human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are at risk for premature vasculopathy and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We evaluated coronary vessel wall thickening, coronary plaque, and epicardial fat in patients infected with HIV early in life compared with healthy controls. METHODS This is a prospective cross-sectional study of 35 young adults who acquir...

Increased blood vessel density in decidua parietalis is associated with spontaneous human first trimester abortion.

Spontaneous pregnancy loss affects 15-18% of couples, and a number of potential causes are being discussed. The purpose of the present study was to assess if angiogenic disorders in the decidua of early human pregnancy could be related to spontaneous abortions. First trimester human decidua from elective terminations of normally progressing pregnancies and from missed abortions were investigate...
