The pathophysiological manifestations of T2D on vascular function and aerobic exercise capacity are distinct in older men and women, and this may reflect underlying differences in vascular and ...

Current understanding of microvascular changes in chronic limb-threatening ischemia remains limited, partly because the tissue microvasculature is difficult to study in human patients.

Microscopically, there was hypertrophy of the myocardial fibers, with some swelling and perinuclear vacuolization. The thrombi and subendocardial areas were replaced by masses of fibrous tissue (Fig.

However, progressive pressure overload in AS can initiate a cascade of extra-valvular myocardial remodeling that could also precipitate maladaptive alterations in the structure and function of the ...

Moreover, stress perfusion imaging may be indicated if myocardial ischemia is suspected. Although transthoracic echocardiography remains the first-line imaging modality to study patients with known or ...

An acute MI may be the initial clinical manifestation of CAD in elderly persons, although many elderly persons experience myocardial ischemia for years prior to an acute MI. Unfortunately ...
