Reactive hyperemic pre-ejection shear stress of brachial artery determines endothelial function in patients with untreated essential hypertension

The Evaluation of Endothelial Functions in Patients with Celiac Disease

“…4 They have detected antibodies related to celiac disease in 13 patients and serum IgA antiendomysium antibody positivity in 9 patients in a total of 187 patients (4.4%). [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] This leads to the hypothesis that small vessels become affected earlier by atherosclerosis compared to large vessels. According to one these theories, the state of chronic malabsorption which is common in celiac disease leads to these pathologies via causing nutritional deficits.…”

“…Cardiovascular risk factors are more associated with microvascular endothelial dysfunction than with macrovascular endothelial dysfunction. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] This leads to the hypothesis that small vessels become affected earlier by atherosclerosis compared to large vessels. Microvascular function can be evaluated by pulse arterial tonometer (PAT) and shear stress test.…”

Effect of Aging on Human Circulatory System in Normotensive Healthy Subjects

“…3,9 The Doppler spectral flow signals were obtained at baseline and during peak reactive hyperemia, similar to previous method. 3,10 Maximal brachial artery diameter and peak and mean systolic velocity were measured subsequently. The mean value of three cardiac cycles was used.…”
