The present study compared, for the first time, the intra-day and inter-day variability of FMD and related parameters (blood velocity, shear rate, arterial diameter) between the upper limb (BA) and lower limb (SFA) conduit arteries in young healthy adults. We have observed that both BA and...
Upper limb ischaemiaIntroduction Acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) is a surgical emergency with high operative mortality. Distal propogration of the dissecting flap can lead to malperfusion of territory supplied by the aorta including axillary and brachial arteries causing ischaemia of the upper ...
Upper and Lower Limb Imaging Abstract The application of dual energy techniques to peripheral angiography in the upper and lower limbs has the potential to improve clinical workflow and study accuracy. Dual-energy techniques optimize postprocessing of three-dimensional data sets with more accurate and ...
ET A receptors are highly expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells and appear to be the major receptor subtype causing vasoconstriction in large human arteries [10]. These receptors have an agonist potency: endothelin-1 > endothelin-2 endothelin-3. ET B receptors are present on the luminal ...
