OBJECTIVE: The present study was undertaken to assess in pre- and postmenopausal women whether obesity influences cutaneous reactive hyperemia in the forearm. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. RESULTS: ...

Objective— Reactive hyperemia is the compensatory increase in blood flow that occurs after a period of tissue ischemia, and this response is blunted in patients with cardiovascular risk factors. The ...

Left coronary artery inflow was recorded in the dog heart-lung preparation by means of a Gregg cannula and a Shipley-Wilson recording rotameter. Reactive hyperemia (RH) was induced by 10-second ...

Reactive hyperemia (RH) in the forearm circulation is an important marker of cardiovascular health, yet the underlying vasodilator signaling pathways are controversial and thus remain unclear. With ...

Background: Ultrafine particles (UFP) may contribute to the cardiovascular effects of exposure to participate air pollution, partly because of their relatively efficient alveolar deposition and ...

October 21, 2011 (Chicago, Illinois) — Acute preoperative exhaustive exercise leads to a "physiologic stress response," which is characterized by increases in reactive hyperemia and peripheral ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to assess the hyperemia response of tissue oxygenation on the sacrum area (high-risk area for pressure ulcer). A total of twenty subjects were recruited from a ...

Abstract: Introduction: Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) provides a noninvasive real-time quantification of relative changes in cutaneous perfusion. Assessment of the microvascular function can provide ...

Hyperemia describes an excess of blood in the blood vessels in a specific part of the body. It comes from the Greek words hupér, meaning over, and haîma, meaning blood. In this article, we examine ...

ABSTRACT: The validity of the flow-mediated dilation (FMD) test has been doubted due to the lack of normalization to the primary stimulus, shear stress. Shear stress can be calculated using a ...

Using inexpensive air filters may help reduce cardiovascular disease risk that results from exposure to air pollution, according to researchers from Canada, who studied healthy adultsliving in a small ...
