This study is not worth mulling over at all.fogdweller wrote:Here is a study worth mulling over. Not vey positive.

I actually don't read it that way. "Vascular function, as assessed by both FMD and reactive hyperemia, was not impaired in patients with MS compared to controls"Nunzio wrote:In reality the study was done to determine if people with MS have an higher chance to develop cardiovascular disease which is purely an arterial disease.
So the study shows that people with MS do not have an higher predisposition to cardiovascular disease than the general population.
This has nothing to do with CCSVI which is due to defective valves and narrowing of VEINS

Much as we WANT certain results, we have to maintain objectivity. Of course I need to read the actual article, but if Zamboni is saying that Vascular Insufficiency is resulting in inadequate vascular function in MS patientes, this is evidence to the contrary.
Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease with an assumed autoimmune etiology which may lead to elevated oxidative stress, vascular dysfunction, and subsequent predisposition to cardiovascular disease.

Since Atherosclerosis is not associated to CCSVI the fact that MS is not associated to atherosclerosis therefore has no implication one way or the otherHeart disease or cardiovascular disease are the class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels (arteries and veins).[1] While the term technically refers to any disease that affects the cardiovascular system (as used in MeSH C14), it is usually used to refer to those related to atherosclerosis (arterial disease).
