Pulse pressure affects the relationship between flow-mediated dilatation and cardiovascular risk

Endothelial dysfunction is recognized as a pivotal factor in the development of atherosclerosis [1]. Dilatation of the brachial artery in response to an increase in flow (flow-mediated dilatation, FMD) during post-ischemic reactive hyperemia currently represents the most suitable approach for non-in...

Sumario:Endothelial dysfunction is recognized as a pivotal factor in the development of atherosclerosis [1]. Dilatation of the brachial artery in response to an increase in flow (flow-mediated dilatation, FMD) during post-ischemic reactive hyperemia currently represents the most suitable approach for non-invasive assessment of endothelial function
