Prognostic significance of brachial flow-mediated vasodilation.
There is currently much research devoted to the study of vascular biology in intact humans. These efforts aim to translate findings from the basic science arena to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and its complications. Markers of vascular risk have been used as surrogate end points in treatment studies. More recently, long-term studies have emerged that speak to...
متن کاملFlow - Mediated Vasodilation *
Brachial arterial flow-mediated dilation (FMD), assessed by high-resolution ultrasonography, reflects endothelium-dependent vasodilator function. FMD is diminished in patients with atherosclerosis and with coronary risk factors, and improves with risk-reduction therapy. Therefore, the measurement of FMD can be a good prognostic instrument in preventive cardiology, is useful to predict short-ter...
متن کاملEndothelial function assessment in atherosclerosis: comparison of brachial artery flow‑mediated vasodilation and peripheral arterial tonometry.
INTRODUCTION Endothelial dysfunction, characterized by the loss of nitric oxide bioavailability, is a key element in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and an important prognostic factor in cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the development of reliable, safe, and noninvasive methods of endothelial function assessment is important for their use in cardiovascular risk stratification. Brachial ...
متن کاملCross-sectional evaluation of brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilation and C-reactive protein in healthy individuals.
AIMS The present study was designed to (a) examine the interrelationship between endothelial function and CRP in healthy individuals and (b) evaluate the relationship of each biomarker towards global Framingham risk scores. METHODS AND RESULTS Brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD), CRP, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors were measured in the Firefighters and Their Endoth...
متن کاملHyperglycemia rapidly suppresses flow-mediated endothelium-dependent vasodilation of brachial artery.
OBJECTIVES We examined whether endothelial dysfunction occurs when acute hyperglycemia is induced by oral glucose loading. BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction has been shown to occur in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), and chronic hyperglycemia is implicated as a cause of endothelial dysfunction. However, in many patients with Type 2 DM and in those with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), ...
