In contrast, conventional cardiovascular therapies such as ACE inhibitors, statins, insulin-sensitizing agents, and estrogens have been shown to alleviate endothelial dysfunction, often independent of their effects on systemic disease processes.These agents restore endothelial function through their salutary effects on pathologic vascular oxidative processes.
Long-term liabilities. Long-term liabilities are liabilities with a future benefit over one year, such as notes payable that mature longer than one year. In accounting, the long-term liabilities are shown on the right wing of the balance-sheet representing the sources of funds, which are generally bounded in form of capital assets.
Unlike short-term loans, which are used as a quick source of cash to tide over short-term liquidity problems, long-term debt financing is used for capital investments. Capital investments, such a real estate, machinery, vehicles, furniture and leases, provide real benefits to a company by either increasing its productivity or expanding its operating capacity.
