Does arterial shear explain the magnitude of flow-mediated dilation?: a comparison between young and older humans.
Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) has become a commonly applied approach for the assessment of vascular function and health in humans. Recent studies emphasize the importance of normalizing the magnitude of FMD to its apparent eliciting stimulus, the postdeflation arterial shear. However, the relationship between shear stress and the magnitude of FMD may differ between groups. The aim of this stud...
متن کاملObligatory role of hyperaemia and shear stress in microvascular adaptation to repeated heating in humans.
The endothelium, a single layer of cells lining the entire circulatory system, plays a key role in maintaining vascular health. Endothelial dysfunction independently predicts cardiovascular events and improvement in endothelial function is associated with decreased vascular risk. Previous studies have suggested that exercise training improves endothelial function in macrovessels, a benefit medi...
متن کاملArterial enlargement, tortuosity, and intimal thickening in response to sequential exposure to high and low wall shear stress.
We investigated the effects of sequential and prolonged exposure to high and low wall shear stress on arterial remodeling using a rabbit arteriovenous fistula (AVF) model. Blood flow was increased by approximately 17-fold to 20-fold when the AVF was open, and returned to normal when the AVF was occluded. Repeated opening and closing of the AVF resulted in sequential exposure of the artery to hi...
متن کاملLongitudinal movements and resulting shear strain of the arterial wall.
There has been little interest in the longitudinal movement of the arterial wall. It has been assumed that this movement is negligible compared with the diameter change. Using a new high-resolution noninvasive ultrasonic method, we measured longitudinal movements and diameter change of the common carotid artery of 10 healthy humans. During the cardiac cycle, a distinct bidirectional longitudina...
متن کاملAge-associated arterial wall thickening is related to elevations in sympathetic activity in healthy humans.
Arterial wall hypertrophy occurs with age in humans and is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease risk. The responsible mechanism is unknown, but data from studies in experimental animals suggest that elevated sympathetic-adrenergic tone may be involved. To test this hypothesis in humans we studied 11 young (29 +/- 1 yr; means +/- SE) and 13 older (63 +/- 1) healthy normotensive men under...
