...). cardiovascular regulation flow-mediated dilation haemoglobin nitric oxide (NO) Type II diabetes A low [Hb] (Hb concentration) is out-balanced by peripheral vasodilation through mechanisms that are incompletely understood, but which may be related to NO (nitric oxide)-mediated vasodilation...

... that anaemia also contributes to an increased risk of cardiac dysfunction in patients with Type II diabetes. In the present study, 228 consecutive adults with diabetes were investigated using transthoracic echocardiography. Echocardiographic parameters were correlated with the Hb (haemoglobin) level...

...Cathrine WOLD KNUDSEN; Harald VIK-MO; Torbjørn OMLAND BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) and anaemia are both associated with adverse outcome in patients with chronic heart failure. Whether low haemoglobin levels are independently predictive of elevated BNP levels in subjects without heart failure...

... homozygotes had significantly ( P = 0.02) lower values for red blood cell count (4.93×10 12 /l compared with 4.86×10 12 /l), haemoglobin level (9.30 compared with 9.18mmol/l) and haematocrit (45.0% compared with 44.4%) than T allele carriers. In the 329 men who consumed alcohol, the differences between CC...

...G. Mayer; J. Thum; H. Graf 1. In order to evaluate the influence of varying degrees of anaemia on exercise capacity and haemodynamic parameters, 13 patients on chronic intermittent haemodialysis with haemoglobin levels between 5.1 and 12.2 g/100 ml were subjected to an exhaustive exercise test...
