Objective
Treatment with BCR‐ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is the standard of care for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, however evidence indicates these compounds may have cardiovascular side‐effects. This study sought to determine if ex vivo exposure of human adipose arterioles to the BCR‐ABL TKIs imatinib and nilotinib causes endothelial dysfunction.
Methods
Human adipose arterioles...
Small arterioles (40–150 μm) contribute to the majority of vascular resistance within organs and tissues. Under resting conditions, the basal tone of these vessels is determined by a delicate balance between vasodilator and vasoconstrictor influences. Cardiovascular homeostasis and regional tissue perfusion is largely a function of the ability of these small blood vessels to constrict or dilate in...
