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.
(Note: Not all bank loans are long term as not all are paid over a period greater than a year, an example of this is a bridging loan.) By convention, the portion of long-term liabilities that must be paid in the coming 12-month period are classified as current liabilities.
