Limitação funcional e claudicação intermitente: impacto das medidas de pressão arterial

Abstract: Background: Arterial hypertension is an important risk factor for Lower-Limb Occlusive Arterial Disease (LLOAD). However, the correlation between blood pressure and pulse pressure (PP) with LLOAD severity and functional impairment resulting from this disease is not well established in the Brazilian population.

“…In healthy individuals, strenuous activity leads to a time-dependent increase in circulating EPCs, associated with an increased expression of the inflammatory marker IL-6, which suggests that endothelial damage could be counteracted by the release of EPCs [19]. Nitric oxide (NO) is a key molecule for EPC mobilization during physical exercise [20]. NO is one of the most important mediators released by the endothelium and acts as a potent vasodilator and inhibits inflammation, vascular wall hypertrophy, and platelet aggregation [21].…”

“…EPCs play an important role in vasculogenesis because of their capacity to proliferate, migrate, differentiate in vivo and in vitro into endothelial cells, and incorporate into the preexisting endothelium. Thus, phenotypically, they have morphofunctional characteristics of both hematopoietic and mature endothelial cells [5]. EPCs are rare, representing approximately 0.01%–0.0001% of the mononuclear fraction in peripheral blood.…”

“…On the other hand, regular exercise, also known as exercise training, produces effects on the cardiovascular system and has been proven to restore endothelial function even in the presence of cardiovascular disease [ 25 ]. Regular exercise promotes changes in cholesterol levels and its subfractions; accelerates the removal of chylomicrons and low-density lipoproteins from circulation; increases the release of NO that seems to generate increased expression of eNOS [ 26 ]; increases the number of circulating EPCs in healthy individuals [ 27 ], as well as in individuals with established cardiovascular disease [ 28 ]; and improves plasma glucose [ 29 ], which has a direct link to impaired endothelial function [ 30 ]. This assumption is consistent with findings in healthy individuals [ 31 ], individuals with diabetes mellitus type 2 [ 32 ], and patients with cardiovascular conditions [ 33 ], showing that exercise training improved vascular function and overall health.…”
