Endothelium function dependence of acute changes in pulse wave velocity and flow-mediated slowing

Flow-mediated slowing (FMS), defined as the minimum pulse wave velocity (PWV min ) during reactive hyperemia, is potentially a simple, user-objective test for examining endothelial function. The purpose of the current study was to determine the effects of a known endothelial dysfunction protocol on arm PWV and PWV min . Complete data were successfully collected in 22 out of 23 healthy adults (23.8 years [SD 4.1], 16 F, 22.8 kg/m 2 [SD 2.8])....
