Japanese investigators have provided a substantial contribution in the understanding of coronary vasomotor reactivity. On occasions, their findings have been at variance with those undertaken on caucasian patients, raising speculation that vasomotor differences between races may exist. In a comparative review of the published literature, we evaluated the vasoreactive differences among Japanese ...

There is now compelling evidence from studies in humans and animals that overexcitation of the sympathetic nervous system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. An excellent example is neurogenic hypertension, in which central sympathetic overactivation is involved in the development, staging, and progression of the disease, and one of the underlying mechanisms ...

conclusions high quality research is needed to establish the true portray for the prevalence and severity of vasomotor and sexual symptoms associated with distress in iranian women. context the aim of this study was to systematically review published articles reporting on the prevalence of vasomotor and sexual symptoms in iranian women. evidence acquisition five databases including medline, psy...

OBJECTIVES To determine more closely the relationship between vasomotor symptoms, well-being and climacteric status according to the last menstrual bleeding and according to the women themselves. METHODS A population-based cross-sectional study was executed using a postal questionnaire. Well-being of women with and without vasomotor symptoms was compared, for the different menopausal statuses...

To characterize pulmonary venous vasoactivity and the factors that modulate it, we determined venous responses to a vasoconstrictor agent, thromboxane A2 (TXA2) analogue U46619, and to a vasodilator agent, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), in 28 isolated blood-perfused lamb lungs under conditions of varying vascular tone and intraluminal pressures. TXA2 was given in a 5 micrograms/kg bolus foll...

('hlorothiazide decreases plasma volume, heart size, and cardiac output. The oligeamii stimulates vasomotor tone; this tends to maintain arterial pressure because chronic arterial hypertension is characteristically self-sustaining and homeostatic. This oligenmic stimulation of vasomotor tone results in increased sensitivity to the antihypertensivQe effect of drugs depressing or blocking vasomot...

Nasal compliance is a measure related to the blood volume in the nasal mucosa. The objective of this study was to better understand the vascular response in vasomotor rhinitis by measuring nasal cross-sectional area and nasal compliance before and after mucosal decongestion in 10 patients with vasomotor rhinitis compared with 10 healthy subjects. Nasal compliance was inferred by measuring nasal...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent reports suggest that vascular factors play a crucial role in the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease. We aimed to assess vasomotor reactivity in patients with Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia due to microangiopathy using transcranial Doppler sonography and near-infrared spectroscopy during a CO(2) exposition task. METHODS The normalized CO...
