Drugs currently marketed for pulmonary arterial hypertension have been able to extend the lives of patients but have shown limitations in their ability to prevent or reverse the disease. A novel ...
Vasodilation is a function within the circulatory system that occurs when the smooth muscles in the blood vessels relax, allowing the blood vessels to widen or dilate. This increases blood flow to ...
Peripheral vascular resistance has a fundamental role in controlling blood pressure. Peripheral vascular resistance depends directly on vascular tone that results from the balance between ...
Impaired vascular function leads to cardiovascular disease. Researchers have found that prolonged sitting impairs forearm cutaneous vasodilation function. They also showed that alternating local skin ...
Even while we are asleep, the brain does not rest completely. Surprisingly, the blood flow in a sleeping brain can be greater than when it is in a wakeful state. This allows the brain to remove waste ...
Weather fluctuations significantly impact blood pressure, posing risks for those with hypertension. Hot weather can lower blood pressure through vasodilation, but dehydration can reverse this effect.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain among the leading causes of global morbidity and mortality. In patients with CVD, blood vessels―which transport blood, oxygen, and nutrients―can become ...
