Cardiovasc Ultrasound .2026 Jan 12;24(1):2 Mengjiao Li ,  Yingying Huang ,  Linghui Bai ,  Wei Li ,  Chenbo Chu ,  Hui Liu   Abstract Background: Coronary microvascular disease (CMVD) is a major cause of hospitalization for a considerable number of patients with ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA), with coronary flow reserve (CFR) reduction being the main feature of CMVD. However, imaging methods for CMVD evaluation are still lacking. This study aimed to i

Abstract Background and Objectives : Endothelial dysfunction represents an early indicator of cardiovascular disease in individuals with hypertension. Leptin, an adipokine that regulates vascular homeostasis and metabolism, has been linked to vascular impairment; however, its relationship with vascular reactivity in hypertensive patients remains unclear. Materials and Met

Bang-Gee Hsu, Yi-Cheng Wang, Du-An Wu, Ming-Chun Chen Abstract Circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) significantly influences endothelial function. This study assessed the correlation between serum 25(OH)D and endothelial function using the vascular reactivity index (VRI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Fasting blood samples from 102 T2DM participants and VRI were assessed. Patients were divided into three categories based on VRI: low (VRI < 1.0), interm

Wen-Lin Lo   ,  Bang-Gee Hsu ,  Chih-Hsien Wang ,  Yu-Lin Lin ,  Chiu-Huang Kuo ,   Yu-Hsien Lai Abstract Background: Patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) present endothelial dysfunction (ED), which is characterized by impaired vasodilation and a pro-inflammatory state. Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) has pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic properties. No study has investigated the association between serum Lp(a) and ED in patients with MHD. T

Diagnostics (Basel). 2025 Sep 20;15(18):2400. I-Min Su ,  Ji-Hung Wang ,  Chin-Hung Liu ,  Bang-Gee Hsu   Abstract Background/Objectives : Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut microbiota-derived metabolite influenced by diet, has been linked to cardiovascular disease. Endothelial dysfunction, an early sign of vascular damage, is common in hypertension. This study examined the relationship between serum TMAO levels and endothelial function, assessed by the vascular reactivity

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are more than just coexisting conditions—they’re interconnected through a complex web of shared molecular mechanisms and risk factors. A new comprehensive review explores how endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress, and other cellular processes drive this dangerous duo, contributing to poor outcomes and limited treatment options.

Impairments in NVC of the frontal cortex may be an early cerebrovascular mechanism underpinning cognitive decline in MetS and is discernible during higher cognitive loads. Peripheral endothelial dysfunction may be implicated in this mechanism.
