DOI: 10.1002/mrm.27384
Abstract: Coronary endothelial function (CEF) reflects vascular health and conventional invasive CEF measures predict cardiovascular events. MRI can now noninvasively measure CEF by quantifying coronary artery cross‐sectional area changes in response to isometric handgrip exercise, an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/oby.22602
Abstract: Insulin resistance is associated with increased lipolysis and elevated concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA), which in turn contribute to impaired vascular function. It was hypothesized that lowering FFA with acipimox, a nicotinic acid derivative… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00405-019-05486-6
Abstract: PurposePrevious studies have shown an association between obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) and cardiovascular events. Whether this association is mediated by an impairment of endothelial function, which is itself a driver of elevated cardiovascular risk,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40121-018-0192-3
Abstract: IntroductionPulmonary capillary endothelium-bound (PCEB) angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity is a direct and quantifiable index of pulmonary endothelial function that decreases early in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and correlates with its severity. Endothelial dysfunction is… read more here.
