简介
Background and aim
Decreased vascular reactivity in atherosclerosis was previously shown. In our study, it was aimed to demonstrate the decreased vascular functions in both microvascular and macrovascular tissues and to estimate any correlation between them.
Methods
Twenty-five control outpatients with no coronary artery disease (CAD) history and 26 outpatients with CAD history were enrolled in the study. Local cutaneous post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) responses after three minutes of brachial occlusion with a pneumatic cuff were recorded noninvasively by a Perimed Periflux 5010 laser Doppler flow system. Aortic distensibility and stiffness indexes were recorded noninvasively by a two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography machine (Vivid S6 GE Medical System, Horten, Norway).
Results
Except for the medication history of subjects, there were no significant demographic differences between …
