Impact of shear rate pattern on upper and lower limb conduit artery endothelial function in both spinal cord‐injured and able‐bodied men

Abstract

NEW FINDINGS: What is the central question of this study? This study addresses the following two central questions. (i) What is the impact of vascular deconditioning after spinal cord injury (SCI) on shear rate patterns and endothelial function? (ii) What is the impact of acutely altered shear rate on endothelial function in both SCI and able-bodied control subjects? What is the main finding and its importance? Two main findings in the present …
