Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined the safety and efficacy of acceleration training (AT) in patients immediately after cardiac surgery.Methods and Results: This randomized controlled study included patients who underwent open-heart surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. Of these patients, 31 received regular cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and 39 received AT in addition to regular CR (AT group). AT was provided using a vibration platform (Power Plate®Pro7TMand Power plate®personal; Performance Health System, Chicago, IL, USA). The AT group performed 5 static resistance training sessions: squats, wide stance squats, toe stands, banded squats, and front lunges. Each vibration session lasted 30 s. We evaluated the short physical performance battery, anterior mid-thigh thickness, maximum voluntary isometric contraction of the knee extensors, and serum intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1) concentrations as indicators of endothelial function. The observation period was during hospitalization and lasted approximately 20 days. No adverse events occurred during AT. Ultrasound revealed a significantly lower reduction in muscle mass at discharge in the AT group. No significant differences were observed in ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 concentrations between the 2 groups preoperatively, postoperatively, or at discharge. CONCLUSIONS AT is considered safe and effective for patients immediately after open-heart surgery. AT, along with regular CR, may prevent skeletal muscle mass loss, muscle weakness, and physical function loss immediately after open-heart surgery.

High Blood Press Cardiovasc Prev 2024; 31:113-126. [PMID: 38630421 DOI: 10.1007/s40292-024-00630-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has gained attention as a potential therapeutic agent for improving endothelial function. Several randomized clinical trials have investigated CoQ10 supplementation's effect on endothelial function. However, these studies have yielded conflicting results, therefore this systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted. AIM This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the effects of CoQ10 supplementation on endothelial factors. METHODS A comprehensive search was done in numerous databases until July 19th, 2023. Quantitative data synthesis was performed using a random-effects model, with weight mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Standard methods were used for the assessment of heterogeneity, meta-regression, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias. RESULTS 12 studies comprising 489 subjects were included in the meta-analysis. The results demonstrated significant increases in Flow Mediated Dilation (FMD) after CoQ10 supplementation (WMD: 1.45; 95% CI: 0.55 to 2.36; p < 0.02), but there is no increase in Vascular cell adhesion protein (VCAM), and Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) following Q10 supplementation (VCAM: SMD: - 0.34; 95% CI: - 0.74 to - 0.06; p < 0.10) (ICAM: SMD: - 0.18; 95% CI: - 0.82 to 0.46; p < 0.57). The sensitivity analysis showed that the effect size was robust in FMD and VCAM. In meta-regression, changes in FMD percent were associated with the dose of supplementation (slope: 0.01; 95% CI: 0.004 to 0.03; p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS CoQ10 supplementation has a positive effect on FMD in a dose-dependent manner. Our findings show that CoQ10 has an effect on FMD after 8 weeks of consumption. Additional research is warranted to establish the relationship between CoQ10 supplementation and endothelial function.

Abstract
Normal-functioning endothelium is crucial to maintaining vascular homeostasis and inhibiting the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Exercise training has been proven effective in regulating arterial endothelial function, and the effect of this regulation is closely related to exercise intensity and the status of arterial endothelial function. With this review, we investigated the effects of the exercise of different intensity on the function of arterial endothelium and the underlying molecular biological mechanisms. Existing studies indicate that low-intensity exercise improves arterial endothelial function in individuals who manifest endothelial dysfunction relative to those with normal endothelial function. Most moderate-intensity exercise promotes endothelial function in individuals with both normal and impaired arterial endothelial function. Continuous high-intensity exercise can lead to impaired endothelial function, and high-intensity interval exercise can enhance both normal and impaired endothelial function. In addition, it was demonstrated that the production of vasomotor factors, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response is involved in the regulation of arterial endothelial function under different-intensity exercise interventions. We posit that this synthesis will then provide a theoretical basis for choosing the appropriate exercise intensity and optimize the prescription of clinical exercise for persons with normal and impaired endothelium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with HIV (PWH) are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, partially believed to be related to chronically elevated systemic inflammation. Abnormal systemic endothelial function (SEF) and coronary endothelial function (CEF) develop early in atherogenesis and predict adverse events. It is unknown whether abnormal CEF is related to systemic inflammation in PWH. METHODS In this substudy of a prior randomized controlled trial in PWH without prior clinical coronary artery disease suppressed on antiretroviral therapy with CEF as a primary end point (N = 82), we investigated the associations between baseline serum markers of inflammation and adhesion and baseline CEF, assessed by noninvasive MRI measures of percentage changes in coronary blood flow and cross-sectional area during isometric handgrip exercise, and SEF using brachial ultrasound for flow-mediated dilation. We also evaluated whether baseline marker levels were associated with CEF after 8 weeks in the placebo group (N = 40). RESULTS CEF measures were abnormal at baseline, based on trial entry criteria. A higher value of CEF was directly associated with levels of interleukin 10, whereas CEF at baseline was inversely associated with E-selectin. Worse CEF at 8 weeks was directly associated with baseline tumor necrosis factor alpha, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, C-reactive protein, interferon gamma and sICAM-3. SEF at baseline or 8 weeks was not associated with any baseline markers. CONCLUSION Coronary but not systemic endothelial dysfunction was significantly associated with select markers of inflammation and adhesion in PWH. Furthermore, CEF but not SEF at 8 weeks was associated with baseline levels of inflammation. Our findings suggest that abnormal CEF and systemic markers of inflammation are linked in PWH.

Sports (Basel) 2021; 9:sports9090120. [PMID: 34564325 PMCID: PMC8472968 DOI: 10.3390/sports9090120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2021] [Revised: 07/28/2021] [Accepted: 08/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Endothelial vasodilatory function is dependent on the NO synthesis from L-arginine by endothelial NO-synthetase (eNOS). eNOS can be inhibited by asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) by competitive inhibition on the binding site, and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) can reduce the L-arginine availability intracellularly through competing for transport over the cellular membrane. To study the NO synthesis after prolonged exercise, we assessed circulatory L-arginine, the L-arginine/ADMA ratio, and SDMA before, after, and on the day after the Norseman Xtreme triathlon, an Ironman distance triathlon. We found significantly reduced levels of L-arginine and the L-arginine/ADMA ratio and increased levels of SDMA after the race (all p < 0.05). L-arginine rose toward baseline levels the day after the race, but ADMA increased beyond baseline levels, and SDMA remained above baseline the day after the race. The reduced levels of L-arginine and the L-arginine/ADMA ratio, and increased SDMA, after the race indicate a state of reduced capability of NO production. Increased levels of ADMA and SDMA, and reduced L-arginine/ADMA ratio, as seen the day after the race, are known risk markers of atherosclerosis and warrant further studies.
