Noninvasive assessment of endothelial dysfunction in essential hypertension: Comparison of the forearm microvascular reactivity with flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery

Abstract: Endothelial dysfunction is detectable both in the forearm skin microcirculation by laser Doppler flowmetry and in the brachial artery by Duplex Ultrasound. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether endothelium-dependent vasodilation in the forearm microcirculation is related to endothelium-dependent flow mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery. In 22 treated male essential hypertensive patients (EHT) who had impaired FMD of the brachial artery, and in 11 male normotensive subjects (NT) we measured fi… Show more
