Obesity is a global pandemic associated with macro-and microvascular endothelial
dysfunction. Microvascular endothelial dysfunction has recently emerged as a significant risk …

Over the past decade, studies have repeatedly found single-nucleotide polymorphisms
located in the collagen (COL) 4A1 and COL4A2 genes to be associated with cardiovascular …

Purpose Weight loss during post-bariatric surgery period has been linked to both reduced
ASCVD mortality and overall mortality. Atherosclerosis causes arteries to lose their elasticity …

Arterial stiffness has been linked to impaired cognitive function and dementia but the reason
for the association is uncertain. This review proposes that collagen type IV is a critical factor …

Aims To examine how metabolic status is associated with microvascular phenotype and to
identify variables associated with vascular remodeling after bariatric surgery, using …

Bariatric surgery (BS) results in sustained weight loss and may reverse inflammation,
metabolic alterations, extracellular matrix remodeling and arterial stiffness. We hypothesize …

Objectives: Mortality following TAVI remains notable and optimizing other features of
cardiovascular health following this intervention can be overlooked. Aortic pulse wave …

Background Retinal microvascular diameters and large artery stiffness are valid biomarkers
of cardiovascular risk. This study assessed short-and long-term micro-and macrovascular …

Sleeve gastrectomy improved microvascular phenotypes from obesity cohort, detected with
optical coherence tomography angiography Page 1 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Sleeve gastrectomy …

Purpose Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of mortality in patients with
obesity. Metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), in which people do not have metabolic …
