BACKGROUND: Ischemia-reperfusion injury results in conduit vessel endothelial
dysfunction as assessed by flow-mediated dilatation (FMD). The effect on the potentially …

Background: Endothelial dysfunction, manifesting as attenuated flow-mediated dilation
(FMD), is clinically important. Antioxidants may prevent this dysfunction; however, the acute …

OBJECTIVE: Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and peripheral artery tonometry (PAT) are
commonly used methods for assessing endothelial function in a research setting but it is …

Flow-mediated slowing (FMS), defined as the minimum pulse wave velocity (PWVmin)
during reactive hyperemia, is potentially a simple, user-objective test for examining …

BACKGROUND: The relationship between blood viscosity (BV) and endothelial function is
rather complex. An increase in BV causes an increase in blood flow resistance, with …

Vascular occlusion test (VOT)-induced reactive hyperemia in brachial artery is crucial to flow-
mediated dilation (FMD). Emerging studies have suggested that reactive hyperemia …

The vascular endothelium plays an important role in the regulation of vascular tone, cell
growth, inflammation, and thrombogenicity. Endothelium dysfunction, then, is considered to …

Background Arterial stiffness, measured by the augmentation index (AIX) from radial artery
tonometry, and endothelial dysfunction, measured by brachial-artery flow-mediated …

Purpose This study aimed to test our hypothesis that acute hypotension attenuates brachial
flow-mediated dilation (FMD) as an index of endothelial function in healthy humans …

Vascular endothelial dysfunction represents an initial step of “vascular failure,” which we
have recently proposed as a comprehensive syndrome of failed vascular functions that …
