P19 INFLUENCE OF BRACHIAL ARTERY STIFFNESS ON FLOW-MEDIATED DILATATION IN HEALTHY YOUNG AND OLDER POPULATIONS

Background: Increased brachial artery (BA) stiffness has previously been shown to affect the magnitude of FMD response in patients with high cardiovascular risk. However, it is unclear whether increased BA stiffness explains the diminished FMD response typically observed in a healthy older populatio...
