Introduction: In situ biomechanical properties of peripheral large veins were compared between asymptomatic young patients who had previously unilateral femoro-popliteal deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and age-matched, healthy ...

Background: Dietary quercetin improves cardiovascular health, relaxes some vascular smooth muscle and has been demonstrated to serve as a substrate for the cyclooxygenase enzyme. Aims: 1. To test quantitatively a potential ...

The upright posture of man had been a major evolutional challenge. The mechanisms responsible for orthostatic tolerance mostly affect the venous system. In this paper, we discuss new results regarding the biomechanics of ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is a global health problem, which can lead to several pathophysiological consequences including cardiovascular diseases. Its impact on the cerebrovascular system is not ...
