The relationship between shear stress and flow‐mediated dilatation: implications for the assessment of endothelial function (2005, background): “Brachial artery FMD is emerging as an independent predictor of future cardiac events (Gokce et al. 2002, 2003; Widlansky et al. 2003).”
Endothelial dysfunction. (2004, background): “Noninvasive endothelial function testing predicted cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease (55), peripheral artery disease (107), and hypertension (108) and in patients who underwent vascular surgery (109).”
Effect of exercise training on endothelium‐derived nitric oxide function in humans (2004, background): “…predominantly of the lower limbs (Hambrecht et al. 1998, 2000c, 2003; Higashi et al. 1999a; Maiorana et al. 2000, 2001a; Linke et al. 2001; Gokce et al. 2002b; Schmidt et al. 2002; Gielen et al. 2003; Walsh et al. 2003a,b) are associated with improvement in measures of NO vasodilator…”
The clinical implications of endothelial dysfunction. (2003, background): “(32,33) might suggest that patients with peripheral arterial disease with preserved endothelial function are at low risk for perioperative and long-term events and might be managed differently than patients with poor function.”
