P5.20 MEASURE OF CHANGE IN CAROTID-RADIAL PULSE WAVE VELOCITY AFTER REACTIVE HYPERAEMIA

The recognized reference method for endothelial function assessment is brachial artery diameter echo-tracking during flow mediated dilation (FMD) induced by reactive hyperaemia (RH). From the Mons-Korteweg equation, FMD should also reduce upper limb pulse wave velocity (PWV). The aim of our study wa...
