Abstract
Diabetes and pre-diabetes are major contributors to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Insulin resistance is a key pathophysiological determinant of the metabolic and vascular abnormalities noted in these disorders. Ineffective vascular repair is likely to be an important contributor to the development of endothelial dysfunction, and subsequently atherosclerosis, in patients with diabetes. Beyond the systemic effects of the insulin resistant phenotype, including factors such as dysglycaemia and inflammation, cellular insulin resistance is emerging as an important factor in diabetic vascular disease. Disordered signal transduction via the PI3-kinase/Akt and MAP-kinase cascades is a hallmark of cellular insulin resistance, and such changes have been linked with both endothelial dysfunction and impaired angiogenesis. In this review we highlight the importance of insulin resistance to vascular repair and regeneration, discuss important cross-talk between the intracellular signalling of insulin and key pro-angiogenic molecules, and link these concepts to common patterns of vascular disease.

Ischemic Cardiovascular Diseases: Mechanisms, Diagnosis and Therapy
Ischemic cardiovascular disease includes myocardial infarction, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, angina pectoris, etc., constitute the leading cause of patient mortality by preventing tissues from getting sufficient oxygen and nutrients. Ischemic heart disease, as a clinical condition, is characterized by myocardial ischemia, causing an imbalance between myocardial blood supply and demand, ...read more
TREATMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN CHRONIC AND END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE
Cardiovascular disease still remains the leading cause of death in Chronic and End Stage Kidney Disease, accounting for more than half of all deaths in dialysis patients. During the past decade, research has been focused on novel therapeutic agents that might delay or even reverse cardiovascular disease and vascular calcification, ...read more
