Background and purpose
External counterpulsation improves cerebral perfusion velocity in acute stroke and may stimulate collateral artery growth. However, whether (non‐acute) at‐risk patients with high‐grade carotid artery disease may benefit from counterpulsation needs to be validated.
Methods
Twenty‐eight patients (71 ± 6.5 years, five women) with asymptomatic unilateral chronic severe internal...
AimsPPARγ stimulation improves cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, but without improving overall clinical outcomes. PPARγ agonists interfere with endothelial cell (EC), monocyte and smooth muscle cell (SMC) activation, function and proliferation, physiological processes critical for arterial collateral growth (arteriogenesis). We therefore assessed the effect of PPARγ stimulation on cerebral adaptive...
