Endothelial dysfunction assessed by brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation predicts severe COVID-19-related disease

Rohit Walia et al.

Summary: This study investigated endothelial dysfunction in COVID-19 disease and its usefulness as a marker for severe COVID-19-related disease. The results showed that endothelial dysfunction correlated with disease severity and was more evident after one week of disease onset.

Carotid intima-media thickness and flow-mediated dilation do not predict acute in-hospital outcomes in patients hospitalized with COVID-19

Michelle Cristina-Oliveira et al.

Summary: This study examined whether brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) are associated with acute in-hospital outcomes in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. The results suggest that cIMT and FMD are not independent predictors of clinical outcomes in these patients.

Endothelial dysfunction in acute and long standing COVID-19: A prospective cohort study

Evangelos Oikonomou et al.

Summary: In this study, the immediate, intermediate, and long-term effects of COVID-19 on endothelial function were assessed. The results showed that COVID-19 patients developed endothelial dysfunction, which improved over a 6-month follow-up but remained impaired compared to healthy controls. Further research is needed to investigate whether the chronic dysregulation of endothelial function following COVID-19 is associated with a residual risk for cardiovascular and thrombotic events.

Summary: Impaired endothelial function can be documented in convalescent COVID-19 patients, especially when residual clinical manifestations persist. Targeting endothelial dysfunction through pharmacological and rehabilitation strategies may represent an attractive therapeutic option.

Assessment of macrovascular and microvascular function in aging males

Matthew C. Babcock et al.

Summary: Aging is associated with reductions in endothelial function, assessed using brachial artery flow-mediated dilation. However, microvessel endothelial function assessed via finger plethysmography may not accurately reflect these age-related changes in large artery endothelial function. The relationship between peripheral artery tonometry and brachial artery ultrasound in evaluating endothelial function in the context of aging needs further investigation.

Vascular Endothelial Function as a Valid Predictor of Variations in Pulmonary Function in T2DM Patients Without Related Complications

He Tai et al.

Summary: This study assessed early variations in pulmonary function and vascular endothelial function in T2DM patients without complications, finding that T2DM patients had significantly lower pulmonary function and impaired vascular endothelial function compared to healthy controls. Factors like diabetes duration and glycemic control were associated with these changes.

Endothelial Dysfunction, Inflammation, and Oxidative Stress in COVID-19-Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets

Adriana Fodor et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused over 3.4 million deaths worldwide and is caused by SARS-CoV-2, affecting not only the lungs but also the cardiovascular system. Clinical manifestations of COVID-19 vary widely, with severe cases leading to respiratory failure. Studies have shown that the severe lung damage associated with COVID-19 is related to both acute respiratory distress syndrome and vascular involvement.
