Reproducibility of brachial artery flow-mediated and glyceryl trintrate-mediated dilatation by 3Tesla CMR
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intra-observer and inter-study reproducibility of brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and glyceryl trintrate (GTN)-mediated dilatation by CMR at 3Tesla were assessed. Coefficients of variation (CoV) were calculated using the root mean square method. The intra-observer CoV, assessed in 15 subjects, was 15% for both FMD and GTN response. The inter-study CoV, assessed in 17 subjects, was 24% for FMD and 34% for GTN response.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging for non-invasive assessment of vascular function: validation against ultrasound.
Ultrasound is an established modality for quantification of vascular function in clinical studies of cardiovascular disease. We determined whether cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can provide a comparable assessment of vascular function. In seventeen control subjects, we used CMR to quantify endothelium-dependent (flow mediated dilatation, FMD) and endothelium-independent dilatat...

Background and purpose: Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) measurement in brachial artery (BA) is a method of assessing endothelial cell function and predicting atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. We investigated the predictive value of FMD for the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in a low-risk group of patients. Materials and methods: A prospective study was performed in 397 p...
متن کاملEndothelial function and chronic exposure to air pollution in normal male subjects.
Exposure to urban air pollution, ultrafine particles or gases, is associated with acute cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. We investigated the effect of ambient air pollution on endothelial function in 40 healthy white male nonsmokers spontaneously breathing ambient air in Paris, France. Air pollutant levels (nitrogen, sulfur and carbon oxides, and particulate matter) were averaged during ...
متن کاملNo relationship between low-density lipoproteins and endothelial function in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Relationships between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and endothelial function in hemodialysis patients have yet to be investigated. Furthermore, current reporting of endothelial function data using flow-mediated dilatation has recognised limitations. The aims of the study were to determine the relationship between low-density lipoproteins and endothelial function in hemodialysis...
متن کاملFlow-mediated and reflex changes in large peripheral artery tone in humans.
Studies of peripheral blood vessels in humans have focused primarily on regulation of blood flow and vascular resistance, which are thought to reflect small vessel caliber. Recent studies in animals have identified flow-mediated and neurogenic changes in large artery diameter. This study tested for flow-mediated dilatation and reflex constriction of the brachial artery in humans. A dual-crystal...
