P4.05: Polycystin Deficiency Results in Complete Loss of No Synthesis During Sustained Flow-Mediated Dilatation of Conduit Arteries in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: Possible Reversal by Dopamine
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is due to mutations in genes PKD1 and PKD2 encoding polycystin-1 and -2, which transduce flow variations into cellular signals in the renal epithelium but a...

Open AccessP2.06: An Impaired Role of Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acids Contributes with Altered No and Endothelin-1 Pathways to Conduit Artery Endothelial Dysfunction in Essential Hypertension
The mechanisms involved in the endothelial dysfunction of conduit arteries, which is an independent contributor to the high incidence of cardiovascular events during essential hypertension, remains to be fully...

Open AccessP9.06 Evidence for a Role of the Vascular Endothelium in the Regulation of Arterial Wall Viscosity in Vivo in Humans
Although the viscoelasticity of large arteries has been extensively investigated, few studies have focused on arterial wall viscosity (AWV) itself and its regulation by the endothelium in vivo. This is of part...

Open AccessP3.07 Increased Arterial Stiffness in Patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the development of renal cysts related to polycystin mutations in the tubular wall leading to renal failure. Moreover, patients with ADP...

Open Access07.01 Outward Hypertrophic Remodeling and Increased Carotid Artery Wall Stiffness in Patients with Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms
Because an underlying arteriopathy might contribute to the development and rupture of intracranial aneurysms (IAs), we assessed the elastic properties of proximal conduit arteries in 27 patients with anteceden...

Open Access03.04 Mechanical and Structural Characteristics of Carotid Plaques: Analysis by Multi-Array Echotracking System and MRI
Combining functional and structural approaches may improve the predictive value for plaque rupture and ischemic events. Two distinct patterns were previously determined along the common carotid artery (CCA) (P...

Open Access06.03 Nitric Oxide and Endothelium-Derived Hyperpolarizing Factor Regulate the Adaptation of Human Conduit Artery Mechanics to Changes in Shear Stress
The role of NO and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF), synthesized by cytochrome epoxygenases and acting through calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channels, in the flow-mediated regulation of hu...
