Assessment of Endothelial Function and Approaches to Prevent Ischemia and Reperfusion-induced Endothelial Dysfunction in Humans
The endothelium is an integral mediator of vascular homeostasis and a dysfunctional endothelium is now recognized as an early marker of atherosclerosis. Importantly, the non-invasive measurement of endothelial function by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) predicts future cardiovascular events. However,...
