Disturbed Blood Flow Acutely Increases Endothelial Microparticles and Decreases Flow Mediated Dilation in Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction

IntroductionDisturbed blood flow, characterized by high retrograde and oscillatory shear rate (SR), is associated with a proatherogenic phenotype. The impact of disturbed blood flow in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) remains unknown. We tested the hypothesis that a...
