Peak vs. total reactive hyperemia: which determines the magnitude of flow-mediated dilation?
We investigated the independent contributions of the peak and continued reactive hyperemia on flow-mediated dilation (FMD). 1) For the duration manipulation experiment (DME), 10 healthy males experienced reactive hyperemia durations of 10 s, 20 s, 30 s, 40 s, 50 s, or full reactive hyperemia (RH). 2) For the peak manipulation experiment (PME), eight healthy males experienced reactive hyperemia ...
متن کاملReduced reactive hyperemia may explain impaired flow‐mediated dilation after on‐pump cardiac surgery
In previous studies, Flow Mediated Dilation (FMD) was used to study the effect of cardiac surgery on endothelial function. This study investigated the effect of on-pump cardiac surgery on FMD and reactive hyperemia. The FMD-response and reactive hyperemia were measured in 25 patients the morning before- and the first morning after cardiac surgery. Brachial artery diameter and blood flow were me...
متن کاملCharacterization and reproducibility of forearm arterial flow during reactive hyperemia.
Peripheral arterial flow has been assessed for a variety of indications including characterization of endothelial function during reactive hyperemia. However, quantification of this blood flow as a surrogate remains an imperfect reflection of endothelial function. We sought to better characterize hyperemic reaction to (1) elucidate the influence of the endothelial function and (2) assess the re...
متن کاملTutorial Ultrasound Assessment of Flow-Mediated Dilation
Developed in 1992, the flow-mediated dilation test is now the most commonly used noninvasive assessment of vascular endothelial function in humans. Since its inception, scientists have refined their understanding of the physiology, analysis, and interpretation of this measurement. Recently, a significant growth of knowledge has added to our understanding and implementation of this clinically re...
متن کاملPatients with migraine with aura have increased flow mediated dilation
BACKGROUND Endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) mediates the arterial dilation following a flow increase (i.e. flow-mediated dilation, FMD), easily assessed in the brachial artery. NO is also involved in cerebral hemodynamics and it is supposed to trigger vascular changes occurring during migraine. This study aimed at investigating whether migraine patients present an altered response to NO al...
