Assessment of vascular disease using arterial flow mediated dilatation.
Arterial endothelial dysfunction occurs at all stages of atherosclerosis, both preceding structural atherosclerosis changes, as well as predisposing to clinical events in late obstructive disease. Endothelial dysfunction is thus well correlated with risks of vascular events. Release of endothelial nitric oxide has been shown to be a key player in normal endothelial function. Endothelial functio...
متن کاملConsumption of energy beverage is associated with attenuation of arterial endothelial flow-mediated dilatation
AIM To investigate whether consumption of an energy drink will acutely impair endothelial function in young healthy adults. METHODS Energy drinks are being consumed more and more worldwide, and have been associated with some deaths in adolescents and young adults, especially when consumed while exercising. After fasting and not smoking for at least 8 h prior, eleven medical students (9 males)...
متن کاملDeterminants of short-term variation in arterial flow-mediated dilatation in healthy young men.
Brachial artery FMD (flow-mediated dilatation) is widely used as a marker of systemic arterial endothelial function. FMD, however, shows considerable 25% day-to-day variation that hinders its clinical use. The reasons for this variability are poorly characterized. Therefore the present study was designed to clarify factors responsible for the hourly variation in endothelial function, including ...
متن کاملWhat is the Real Cause of Glaucoma?
Introduction: The term glaucoma refers to a group of diseases that have a characteristic optic neuropathy with associated visual field loss in common. Intraocular pressure has been considered to be the only causal factor for glaucoma and the only factor that can be manipulated to alter the course of the disease. But considering high intraocular pressure as the only factor responsible for glauco...
متن کاملAssessment of atherosclerosis: the role of flow-mediated dilatation.
Evidence suggests that endothelial dysfunction is on the causal pathway for both atherogenesis and destabilization of established plaques. In this review, the role of flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) as a non-invasive method to assess endothelial function is discussed. Technical modifications and development of analysis software have significantly improved the variability of the method. Following...
