Dr. King and colleagues set out to evaluate the relationship between aortic arch pulse wave velocity and subsequent cerebral
microvascular disease, independent of other cardiovascular risk factors, among 1,270 participants in the multiethnic Dallas Heart Study.
What is coronary
microvascular disease?
Microvascular disease resulting from diabetes (nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy) accounts for 48 % of total diabetes costs.44 We used $ 3,557 for annual microvascular direct costs and $ 893 for microvascular indirect morbidity costs.

New research published in Diabetologia (the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes) shows that age (or age at diagnosis) and duration of diabetes
disease are linked to the risk of death and marcovascular complications (those in larger blood vessels), whereas only diabetes duration is linked to the risk of
microvascular complications (in smaller blood vessels such as those in the eyes).
From these cell based and clinical studies, we have developed important mechanistic ideas such as activation of protein kinase C, the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and selective insulin resistance as some of the basic mechanisms for the pathogenesis of diabetic
microvascular and cardiovascular
diseases which are now widely studied by multiple laboratories.
The truth is: even with fasting glucose levels at the medically - accepted threshold, it is entirely possible that major
microvascular damage has already occurred, ushering in heart
disease, kidney failure, vision loss, neuropathy and cancer.

Microvascular Dysplasia (HMD, a hereditary liver

Portosystemic Vascular Anomalies (PSVA or «liver shunts») and Hepatoportal
Microvascular Dysplasia (MVD) are two common forms of liver

The hyperuricosuria is not the only cause of urate urolithiasis, and conditions such as portosystemic shunts and hepatic
microvascular dysplasia also may predispose dogs to this
disease.
Common liver
diseases in dogs include infectious canine hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, Porto - systemic shunt, hepatic
