Assessment of the Endothelial Function with Changed Volume of Brachial Artery by Menstrual Cycle
Assessment of the Endothelial Function with Changed Volume of Brachial Artery by Menstrual Cycle
摘要
The endothelial function has been proven to be an important factor in the pathogenesis of atheroscle-rosis, hypertension and heart failure. The flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) of the peripheral artery is an endothelium-dependent function. Brachial-artery ultrasound scanning is the popular method for evaluat-ing FMD.
