Abstract:
Impaired hyperemic myocardial blood flow (MBF) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), despite normal epicardial coronary arteries, results in microvascular dysfunction. The aim of the present study was to determine the relative contribution of extravascular compressive forces to microvascular dysfunction in HCM. Eighteen patients with symptomatic HCM and normal coronary arteries and 10 age-matched healthy volunteers were studied with PET to quantify resting and hyperemic MBF at a subendocardial and subepicardial level. In HCM patients, MRI was performed to determine left ventricular (LV) mass i

Abstract:
Prolonged sitting reduces lower-limb resistance vessel function (RVF), whereas increasing aerobic fitness levels enhance lower-limb RVF. However, it is unknown if having higher aerobic fitness offers protection against prolonged sitting-induced declines in RVF. This study investigated the relationships between aerobic fitness versus reductions in lower-limb RVF following a 3-hour bout of uninterrupted sitting. In 30 healthy young to middle aged adults (19♀, 24±6 years), aerobic fitness was assessed during a graded, maximal cycling test. Relative peak oxygen consumption (V̇O2peak) was determine

Although premenopausal women are thought to be protected from CVD, trauma exposure increases their CVD risk. Poor sleep – a CVD risk factor – is common after trauma exposure.

It is unclear whether these effects are present when high sodium conditions are compared to the sodium level of a typical American diet (~3400 mg/day).
