Clinical aspects of assessment of endothelial function.
Prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis is an important priority. Measurement of endothelial function has been reported as a useful tool for atherosclerosis research. Endothelium appear to integrate the injury of commonly known risk factors and others, genetic and environmental as yet undiscovered. The assessment of endothelium-dependent vasodilation has emerged as indicator of endothelial ...
متن کاملClinical assessment of endothelial function: ready for prime time?
The vascular endothelium plays a critical role in the regulation of arterial function through the synthesis and elaboration of a number of antiatherogenic factors such as nitric oxide (NO). “Endothelial dysfunction” represents a pathophysiological state in which normal homeostatic properties of the vasculature are impaired or lost, thereby supporting a vasospastic, prothrombotic, and proinflamm...
متن کاملAssessment of endothelial function. History, methodological aspects, and clinical perspectives.
In 1986, endothelial function was measured for the first time in patients with atherosclerotic coronary arteries. Since then, several methods for assessment of endothelial function, such as endothelium-dependent vasodilation induced by intra-arterial infusion of vasoactive agents using coronary angiography, Doppler flow guide wire, mercury-filled Silastic strain-gauge plethysmography, flow-medi...
متن کاملNoninvasive assessment of endothelial function in clinical practice.
In the fight against cardiovascular diseases, preventive strategies are becoming the focus of attention. One of these strategies proposes to identify individuals who are at a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Endothelial dysfunction could improve patient risk stratification and the implementation of preventive strategies. In this review we focus on noninvasive techniques that have...
متن کاملAssessment of endothelial function: Methodology and clinical applications
Endothelial dysfunction is considered to be the earliest step in the process of atherogenesis. Recent development of noninvasive tools such as brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation has made assessment of endothelial function possible in clinical practice. Evidence from clinical trials suggests that recognition of endothelial dysfunction provides us valuable information about future risk of c...
