Women’s blood vessels age faster than men’s: Study

Share It

New research shows for the first time that women’s blood vessels, both large and small arteries, age at a faster rate than men’s.

The findings, published Wednesday in JAMA Cardiology, challenge the long-held belief that vascular disease and cardiovascular risk in women lags behind men by up to 20 years, concluding that certain vascular changes in women actually develop earlier and progress faster in women compared to men.

“We were inspired to take a much closer look at blood pressure trajectories over the life course in women compared to men because, at the end of the day, the vast majority of cardiovascular disease processes tend to start with blood pressure elevation as a major driving risk factor,” said Dr. Susan Cheng, director of public health research at the Smidt Heart Institute at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and senior author on the study.

The study looked at nearly 145,000 blood pressure measurements from more than 32,000 people, ranging in age from 5 to 98, over the course of four decades.

Researchers found that blood pressure started increasing in women as early as 30, and continued to rise higher than blood pressure in men throughout the women’s life span.

“Our findings suggest that all the ways by which we think about and aim to prevent or treat high blood pressure likely needs to be more tailored, for women,” Cheng said.

One of the reasons Goldberg, who was not involved in the study, cited for patients not taking their blood pressure medications is that people stop taking them if their blood pressure improves. Treating blood pressure is not like treating a pneumonia or cough, patients must continue to take blood pressure medication for them to be effective.

“We need to be more vigilant, because when high blood pressure is treated it is a way of preventing other diseases, like stroke, heart attacks and heart failure,” Goldberg said.

Dr. Manavjeet Sidhu, MD, MBA, is a chief resident physician in emergency medicine and contributor to the ABC News Medical Unit.

D’OXYVA® improves dermal microcirculation and promotes wound healing in the diabetic foot

Share It

Published in PRWeb

Prof. Puruhito and colleagues have released the results of three observational trials showing that D’OXYVA^® (Circularity Healthcare LLC), a deoxyhemoglobin vasodilator, improves vasodilation in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), boosts dermal microcirculation, and helps in the healing process of DFUs.

D’OXYVA^® is a validated circulatory and nerve stimulant. The system was used by Prof. Puruhito for CO₂transdermal delivery, which has been shown to produce higher oxygen unloading by hemoglobin, thereby increasing oxygen-rich blood flow in the local microcirculatory system¹. This improved dermal microcirculation leads, in turn, to enhanced wound healing².

The American Diabetes Association standards of care for DFUs refer to microvascular complications and their treatment via improvements in microcirculation; therefore, Prof. Puruhito’s team set out to test CO₂transdermal delivery via D’OXYVA^® in their patients. They have been gathering data since 2015, which led to the following results.

During the course of a 5-day treatment, O₂ saturation increased in patients treated with transdermal CO₂in comparison to controls (15 patients/group)³ over the whole measurement range (up to 120 minutes post application). Moreover, a consistent heart rate decrease was found in patients undergoing transdermal CO₂treatment. Furthermore, the perfusion index (PI) showed an upwards tendency in the treatment group, whereas it remained stable for untreated controls. See figure 1.

Figure 1: Changes observed after a 5-day transdermal CO₂treatment with D’OXYVA^®. H1-H5: pre-treatment, 10, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after; blue trace: control, orange trace: treatment. (A) Changes in O₂ saturation (B) Decrease in heart rate due to treatment (C) Masimo® measurements of PI.

Fibromyalgia and Microcirculation: What Fibro Patients Need To Know

Share It

If you’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, you know how debilitating the disease’s widespread nerve pain can be to your body. New research shows that microcirculation problems may be among the causes of fibro nerve pain. The concept of microcirculation—the circulation of blood in your body’s smallest blood vessels—may be a key to unlocking the mysteries of fibromyalgia.

The Latest Research on Microcirculation and Fibromyalgia

As more patients are diagnosed with fibromyalgia each year, research on the disease’s causes and potential treatments are increasing rapidly. A study was done on exactly how blood circulates near tender points in the body in fibromyalgia patients. Circulation was found to be poor near tender points, leading researchers to believe that microcirculation near the surface of the skin is at play when it comes to fibromyalgia pain.

Many people who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia find that it’s harder to exercise than it was before they began experiencing fibromyalgia symptoms. Studies have shown that microcirculation problems can contribute to exercise intolerance and muscular fatigue in fibromyalgia patients. Although exercise has been shown to help with fibromyalgia symptoms, it can be hard to use movement as an effective treatment when it can also lead to painful flare-ups. This can be disheartening for fibro patients who are trying their best to manage their stress and symptoms through exercise.

Improving Microcirculation in Fibromyalgia Patients

If you think some of your fibromyalgia symptoms may be related to microcirculation problems, you’re not alone. Many fibro patients are finding that improving microcirculation relieves some of their fibro symptoms. Let’s take a look at some of the options for improving microcirculation:

Exercise – As stated above, exercise can be a great way to get the blood moving and improve microcirculation. However, many fibro patients find that they need to experience symptom relief before they feel well enough to exercise.
Heat therapy – Spending time in a sauna or hot tub or using a heating pad can get your blood flowing directly beneath the skin. Although this is a short-term solution, it can provide relief to people who need assistance with microcirculation.
D’OXYVA – A fairly new innovation in the world of microcirculation, D’OXYVA is a transdermal delivery application that significantly improve microcirculation, with validated results to give relief from pain to patients who need it most and are unable to get help with microcirculation through exercise. Most fibromyalgia patients find that they achieve significant pain relief after using D’OXYVA for 2-7 days.

If you suffer from fibromyalgia, you’re not alone. Help is available. Using a combination of exercise, heat therapy, and D’OXYVA may give you the relief you’re looking for.

Improving Microcirculation for Weight Reduction in Obesity

Obesity, by definition, is a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg per square meter or greater. The prevalence of obesity has increased and is now thought to affect more than one third of the adult population.^[1]Recent studies have shown that obesity has an adverse effect on microcirculation and is an important risk factor for the development of many health problems, such as metabolic syndrome (insulin resistance, elevated lipid levels, high blood pressure and increased abdominal girth), ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and other cardiovascular diseases.^[2] The following case demonstrates how improving microcirculation can help with weight reduction in obese patients.

Brenda V was a 39-year-old white female patient with severe obesity and a BMI of 52.4 kilograms per square meter.

Brenda’s past medical history was significant because it incuded a history of morbid obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, gout, and depression.

She revealed that she could only walk for one block without severe shortness of breath and had to sleep on 2 pillows at night.

On physical examination, her weight was 340 pounds, and her height was 5 feet, 1 inch.

Her blood pressure was 180/105, and her cardiovascular exam revealed severe pitting edema of both legs.

Brenda’s abdomen was distended and morbidly obese with decreased bowel sounds.

Her laboratory exam showed a hemoglobin A1C level of 12.5% (normal is less than 5.7%) and a triglyceride level of 600 mg/dl (normal is less than 150 mg/dl).

Brenda was put on a regimen of diet, increased exercise, and the use of the peripheral deoxyhemoglobin vasodilator D’OXYVA^[3] for 5 minutes per day, 5 times a week, for a 3 month period.

After this treatment she had the following improvements:

Increased physical activity
Decreased blood sugar levels
Decreased blood pressure
Decreased triglyceride levels
Decreased HgbA1C levels
Increased cardiac function
Increased endurance
Increased physical fitness
Decreased depression
Massively decreased weight
Increased mobility

How Does Obesity Affect Microcirculation?

Microcirculation^[4] refers to the body’s smallest branching blood vessels (arterioles, venules, and capillaries with internal diameters less than 100 microns) that supply oxygen to and remove wastes products from the body’s tissues.

Microcirculation responds to changes in metabolic demands or sympathetic nervous system activation by either expanding or contracting to increase or decrease perfusion levels.

Early in the course of obesity, dysfunctional changes begin to appear in microcirculatory endothelial lining cells”.

These changes are caused by oxidative stress and inflammation of the microcirculation^[5] and are now thought to lead to both insulin resistance and hypertension.

Conclusion

Obesity has been found to lead to microcirculatory dysfunction, which causes severe health problems, such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus and various cardiovascular diseases. Reducing obesity through a program of strict dietary control, increased exercise and the use of D’OXYVA to enhance microcirculation can significantly improve general health and reduce the risk of potentially lethal health complications.

Disorders of Microcirculation – Prevention and Treatment

Microcirculation^[1] involves the smallest branching blood vessels in the body, which are the arterioles, the venules and the capillaries. These tiny blood vessels provide essential perfusion to the tissues of the body and supply oxygen while carrying away toxic metabolic waste products. Disorders of microcirculation can affect all end organs of the body, such as through the cardiovascular system, the central nervous system, peripheral circulation to the lower extremities and blood flow to the eyes and to the kidneys. The following case study involves a patient with multiple disorders of microcirculation that were all improved by application with D’OXYVA. ^[2]

Arnie F was a 64-year-old white male with a long history of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus for the last 13 years, hypertension, depression, cardiovascular disease and kidney disease.

Due to his uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, Arnie had developed peripheral neuropathy and 2 large non healing ulcers^[3] over the malleolar areas on both feet and over the soles of both feet.

These ulcers had never completely healed over a 9-year period.

Arnie also reported severe pain in his legs and calves most nights, with a self-reported score of 7 out of a possible 10 on the visual pain scale.

On physical exam, Arnie had a blood pressure of 140/95 and a body mass index of 26.

He also had diminished pedal pulses on both feet along with 2+ edema of both lower extremities.

After application with D’OXYVA, which is a deoxyhemoglobin transdermal vasodilator, for 5 minutes twice a day for 25 days, Arnie’s previously non-healing foot ulcers were nearly completely healed and he avoided the need for amputation.

In addition, Arnie’s leg and foot pain was eliminated after 4 weeks of D’OXYVA, and his depression lifted without additional medications.

Finally, Arnie’s exertional chest pain, which was due to his cardiovascular disease,^[4]was also relieved and he was now able to walk 2 blocks without shortness of breath or chest pain.

Common Conditions Caused by Impaired Microcirculation

There are a number of common conditions caused by defects in microcirculation. These include the following:

Non-healing diabetic foot ulcers
Depression
Chronic pain from diabetic neuropathy
Chronic pain from fibromyalgia
Chronic pain from chronic wounds
Chronic pain from degenerative arthritis
Chronic pain from rheumatoid arthritis
Chronic pain from osteoporosis
Chronic pain from migraine headaches
Chronic lower back pain
Cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic heart disease and hypertension
Obesity
Insulin resistance
Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Chronic renal failure
Peripheral vascular disease
Venous insufficiency

Conclusion

Disorders of microcirculation^[5] affect many different organs and systems of the body including the cardiovascular system, the peripheral vascular system and the central nervous system. D’OXYVA has been shown to be an effective application in many conditions such as nonhealing wounds of the lower extremities and depression and in increasing strength and endurance in patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Treating Microcirculation Defects in Cardiovascular Diseases

Defects in microcirculation have been documented as major factors in the development of cardiovascular diseases, especially type 1 diabetes.^[1]By treating microcirculation defects, thus increasing blood and oxygen flow to the heart, the risk of recurrent significant cardiovascular events can be reduced significantly, and strength and endurance can improve.

An example of microcirculation compromise in a patient with severe cardiovascular disease can be seen in the clinical case of Leo B.

Leo was a 64-year-old male with a medical history of diabetes mellitus for 15 years, cigarette smoking, elevated cholesterol, and high LDL (harmful blood fat) levels.

Leo had a heart attack (myocardial infarction) several years ago.

He had suffered a myocardial infarction 6 weeks earlier and also suffered from exertional angina (chest pain with exertion).

He was taking lisinopril (20 mg per day) for high blood pressure, insulin for his diabetes, and one baby aspirin a day as a blood thinner to prevent another heart attack.

Leo was put on a cardiac rehabilitation regimen^[2] consisting of a low-fat diet, moderate exercise, and stress control.

He used D’OXYVA^[3]as an adjunct application, which helped increase his strength and endurance while decreasing his episodes of exertional chest pain.

What is Microcirculation?

In general, microcirculation^[4] refers to the smallest blood vessels in the body, consisting of the arterioles, venules, and capillaries.

These tiny blood vessels supply oxygen to the organs of the body and remove waste products produced by the body’s metabolism.

Smooth muscle cells, which are the lining cells of the arterioles and of some venules, are under the control of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and other chemical factors.

These influences help control the ability of the microcirculatory system to dilate and contract to increase or decrease circulation and oxygenation.

BUY D’OXYVA

What is Coronary Microcirculation?

Coronary microcirculation (microvascular network) refers to the smallest arterioles and venules that supply the heart.

These tiny branching blood vessels play crucial roles in supplying oxygen and removing waste products from the heart muscle.

When the heart requires more oxygen, the arterioles dilate, increasing blood flow to the heart.

This is especially important if a patient suffers from cardiovascular conditions such as angina or heart failure.

What Causes Cardiac Microcirculation Dysfunction?

Dysfunction of cardiac microcirculation can be caused by many factors, including:

Dysfunction of the endothelial (lining) cells of the arterioles, which affects the ability of arterioles to dilate and allow for increased blood flow
Increased alpha 2 adrenergic activity, which leads to vasoconstriction and resultant decreased cardiac perfusion
Sclerosing of the arterioles, causing reduced blood flow and oxygenation

Conclusion

Microcirculation consists of the smallest blood vessels in the body and includes cardiac microcirculation, which plays a crucial role in supplying oxygen and removing waste products from the heart. The transdermal deoxyhemoglobin vasodilator D’OXYVA plays an important role in increasing blood flow (perfusion) and resultant oxygenation to the cardiovascular system. This increase in oxygenation has been found to help increase endurance and strength and is an important adjunct solution to consider as part of cardiac rehabilitation.

Signs You’re at Risk for Spider Veins

Spider veins are dilated superficial blood vessels that often appear on the surface of the lower extremities or on the face. They are usually caused by damage to the small valves in veins, which causes backflow, increased pressure and venous dilation.

An example of a patient with spider veins is Helen R., a 38-year-old white female with a history of spider veins behind both knees and thighs bilaterally that developed after pregnancy.

Helen had a medical history of deep venous thromboses in both legs at the age of 35. She also had a history of smoking one pack of cigarettes per day for the past 25 years. Helen had gained 40 pounds during her pregnancy.

To treat her spider veins, Helen was placed on a treatment regimen with D’OXYVA,^[1] a transdermal deoxyhemoglobin microcirculation vasodilator. She was given 5-minute applications 5 times per week for 2 weeks, which eliminated all of her spider veins.

How Does D’OXYVA Eliminate Spider Veins?

D’OXYVA works to eliminate spider veins by delivering a mixture of water vapor and pharmaceutical grade CO2 under pressure through the surface of the skin to the microcirculation (the smallest blood vessels in the body), which improves and normalizes circulation and oxygenation.

D’OXYVA also works by balancing the effects of the autonomic nervous system (the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems) to achieve a state of homeostasis.

Major Risk Factors for the Development of Spider Veins

There are a number of risk factors for the development of spider/varicose veins. These include:

Gender—Female patients have a much higher risk of developing spider veins^[2]than male patients.
Genetic history—The majority of patients with spider veins have a close relative with spider veins.
Pregnancy—Pregnancy increases the downward pressure on veins in the lower extremities, leading to an increase in spider veins.
Weight—Obese patients have an increased body mass index, which puts added strain on the veins of the lower extremities, causing spider veins.
Age—With increasing age, the valves in the veins can become weaker, leading to backflow and pooling of blood in the veins, which increases venous pressure and causes spider veins.
Birth Control Pills—Patients on birth control pills have a higher risk of developing spider veins than women who are not on birth control pills.
Sitting/Standing for Long Periods of Time – Extended periods of sitting or standing without changing positions can lead to pooling of blood in the lower extremities, leading to the development of spider veins.
A History of Lower Extremity Blood Clots—Deep venous thromboses (DVTs), which are blood clots in the deep veins of the legs, can lead to damaged valves and resultant spider veins.
Hormonal Therapy—Patients on hormone replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms are also at increased risk for developing spider veins.

Ways to Decrease the Risks of Developing Spider Veins

To decrease the risk of developing spider veins,^[3] here are some helpful suggestions:

Maintain a healthy diet and exercise program to establish a healthy weight.
Avoid sitting or standing for more than 30 minutes at a time.
Avoid crossing your legs when sitting for long periods of time, as this can decrease circulation.
Avoid wearing high heels for long periods of time, as this can reduce blood circulation in the calf muscles.
Elevate your feet whenever possible when taking a break from work or extended sitting or standing.

5 Ways to Improve Your Mental Health

By Dr. Steven Gelbard, MD, Medical Director of ReLife Miami Institute

Sometimes, a mental health issue manifests as emotional outbursts rather than chronic anxiousness or periods of depression. You may notice you’re overeating or not eating enough, so you had a recent change in your weight. You could be suffering from insomnia, frequently waking up through the night, or oversleeping. It’s possible to improve your mental state of health and improve your overall quality of life, though.

1. Change Your Diet

A mineral or vitamin deficiency may be the root of your anxiousness or depression. For instance, zinc has an impact on your mood. It’s possible to feel depressed if you have a zinc deficiency. Studies have shown a link with low zinc levels in their blood and depression. Moreover, it appears there’s a correlation between zinc levels and the severity of a person’s depression. Zinc is necessary for the release of certain hormones, including stress hormones. A zinc deficiency can also lead to aggravation. Zinc isn’t the only nutrient that can interfere with your happiness and mental health; so can B-complex vitamins, iron, and vitamin D, among others. Try to consume a diet rich in nutrients. If you can’t, consider supplementing.

What You Need to Know About Non-Healing Wounds

Chronic wounds are wounds that do not heal in a normal amount of time. This delay in healing can be due to a number of factors. Read on to learn about the case of a 63-year-old female patient with a large chronic wound on her lower, left extremity that was resistant to healing.Lena was a 63-year-old, White female who had developed a large, non-healing wound on her lower, right leg. She could not remember what had caused the lesion other than having dropped a heavy mirror on her right shin several weeks earlier. Lena had a past medical history of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart failure, liver failure, and blood clots in her legs. She had been a cigarette smoker for the last 50 years.Lena’s physical examination showed a large, deep, non-healing wound on her right shin. Surgical treatment and debridement, along with antibiotic treatment, had failed to result in significant treatment. After 8 weeks of adjunctive application with deoxyhemoglobin vasodilator D’OXYVA^[1], the chronic wound improved without any further complications.

Main Reasons Chronic Wounds Do Not Heal

Chronic wounds normally do not heal for a number of reasons,including^[2]:

Increased age of the patient leading to slower healing time
Decreased functioning of the immune system due to illnesses or chronic disease processes
Decreased circulation due to diabetes affecting the peripheral vascular system
Decreased circulation due to peripheral vascular disease
Peripheral neuropathy leading to loss of sensation and the inability to feel wound and ulcer formation
Insufficiency of the venous system leading to pooling of blood in the extremities and resultant poor perfusion
Poor nutrition leading to decreased ability to heal wounds normally
Impaired mobility leading to impaired limb perfusion
Increased general stress levels leading to decreased wound healing
Decreased general health causing general debilitation and loss of normal healing ability

Variations of Chronic Wounds

There are several different variations of chronic wounds, including pressure ulcers, arterial and venous ulcers, and diabetic ulcers.

Pressure ulcers^[3], such as “bed sores,” occur when an area of the skin is under constant pressure, often when a patient is confined to a bed or wheelchair.

This causes the skin to break down in areas such as the coccyx, heel, ankles, and dorsum of the foot.

Arterial ulcers^[4] form when there is a blockage in an artery causing reduction in blood flow to the lower extremities and subsequent reduction in the supply of oxygen to the affected area.

Venous ulcers^[5] occur when the valves within veins become damaged leading to pooling of blood in the veins and reduced blow flow and oxygenation to the extremities.

Diabetic ulcers occur when high blood sugar levels cause damage to the nerves, especially in the lower extremities.

This leads to numbness, causing the patient to ignore cuts or ulcers until they enlarge, often becoming infected.

Diabetes also depresses the immune system, leading to slowed healing.

Treatments for Chronic Non-Healing Wounds

There are a number of treatments for non-healing wounds^[7]. These include:

Antibiotics to treat bacterial infections
Antifungals to treat fungal infections
Hyperbaric oxygen treatments to improve chronic wound healing
Surgical debridement to remove necrotic tissue
Specialty wrapping of chronic wounds
Skin grafting to close chronic wounds
D’OXYVA^[8]skin delivery deoxyhemoglobin vasodilator as a wound solution to improve blood flow and oxygenation to chronic wound areas
