[FMD]Flow Mediated Dilation, Measuring Vascular Endothelial Function, FMD
Flow Mediated Dialation !
FMD !
Increase blood flow
Shear stress on the endothelium is enhanced by increasing blood flow induced after the cuff occlusion and then deflation
Increase No
Shear stress induce endothelial cells to increase No production
Vascular dilation
No effect on vascular smooth muscle to induce vascualr dilation
The endothelial covers the vascular lumen and has been recognized as an organ that responds to physical and chemical signals by producing some vasoactive substances.
The early detection of endothelial dysfunction(ED) is essential to intervene and prevent its progression as ED is considered as an initial step of atherosclerosis.
System Advantage
- Assessment of changes in vascular fucntion
- As a predictor for future cardiovascular events
