Comparison of New Measures of Vascular Function to Flow Mediated Dilatation as a Measure of Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Abstract
Although flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) is widely used, the ideal vascular parameter for the measurement of cardiovascular risk is not clear. Recently, it has been proposed that shear stress and blood velocity during hyperemia (VRH) may provide stronger correlations with cardiovascular risk factors than FMD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relations of VRH and shear stress during reactive hyperemia (SSRH) to FMD and the association of …
