The introduction of duplex Doppler ultrasound almost half a century ago signified a
revolutionary advance in the ability to assess limb blood flow in humans. It is now widely …

Background Total arterial occlusive pressure (AOP) is used to prescribe pressures for
surgery, blood flow restriction exercise (BFRE) and ischemic preconditioning (IPC). AOP is …

Key points• Passive limb movement elicits a robust increase in limb blood flow (LBF) and
limb vascular conductance (LVC) without a concomitant increase in skeletal muscle …

Prolonged sitting in a mild hypercapnic environment impairs peripheral vascular function.
The effects of sitting interruptions using passive or active skeletal muscle contractions are …

In young healthy men, passive leg movement (PLM) elicits a robust nitric oxide (NO)-
dependent increase in leg blood flow (LBF), thus providing a novel approach to assess NO …

Introduction Optimal shunt-based hydrocephalus treatments are heavily influenced by
dynamic pressure behaviors between proximal and distal ends of shunt catheters. Posture …

This study sought to better define the role of NO in brachial artery flow–mediated
vasodilation (FMD) in young, healthy humans. Brachial artery blood velocity and diameter …

There is accumulating evidence for both peripheral vascular dysfunction and impaired
functional capacity in patients with heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) …

The role of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity in relation to the repetitive exposure to
static stretching (SS) on heart and musculoskeletal hemodynamics in stretched and resting …

Passive static stretching (SS), circulatory cuff occlusion (CCO), and the combination of both
(SS+ CCO) have been used to investigate the mechano-and metaboreflex, respectively …
