Regardless of the normal range recorded by laboratory results, uric acid under the microscope is a crystal, or the analogy would be a piece of shattered glass, we emphasize water between meals to minimize endothelial damage of arteries, reduces risk of stones, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions. Relation of serum uric acid and cardiovascular events […]

New markers for coronary microvascular disease identified Credit: Jillian Nickel Although cardiovascular disease is the main cause of illness among women in the U.S., certain conditions such as coronary microvascular disease (CMD) cannot be easily diagnosed. In a new study, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have identified specific biomarkers for CMD, which might […]

Measuring arterial waveform is measuring elasticity and endothelial function. Johanna Hol Fosse, Guttorm Haraldsen, Knut Falk, Reidunn Edelmann There are several reasons to consider the role of endothelial cells in COVID-19 and other emerging viral infections. First, severe cases of COVID-19 show a common breakdown of central vascular functions. Second, SARS-CoV-2 replicates in endothelial cells. […]
