OVERVIEW:
Microvascular dysfunction has been implicated as the primary hallmark of several cardiac and inflammatory diseases (e.g., diabetes, heart failure, kidney disease), affecting millions of people worldwide. The onset and progression of microvascular disease is driven by vascular inflammation and is characterized by impaired vasomodulation. The ability to noninvasively assess microvascular function is essential to assessing intact microvascular reactivity. In this session we will discuss the findings from a recent study which employed multimodality imaging (MRI, ultrasound, photoacoustic, laser Doppler) along with standardized clinical testing, with the purpose of understanding the progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy while teasing apart sex-dependent differences.
