Abstract:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Accumulating evidence supports the presence of endothelial and microvascular dysfunction in CVD, which can be assessed using several methods in peripheral organs and tissues. Naifold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) is an established, noninvasive, easily applicable technique for the assessment of peripheral microcirculation. There is limited capillaroscopic data in the field of CVD, though, and the diagnostic or possible prognos… Show more
