Measuring coronary arterial compliance and vasomotor response noninvasively in clinical and research settings
2021, Biomechanics of Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque: From Model to PatientCoronary distensibility index measured by computed tomography is associated with the severity of coronary artery disease
2010, Journal of Cardiovascular Computed TomographyCitation Excerpt :Multiple studies have documented the association of coronary atherosclerosis and impaired vascular function.6–8 Arterial distensibility, a measure of vascular function, can serve as a marker for risk of coronary heart disease in human beings.9,10 In addition, animal studies suggest that reduced arterial distensibility is an early sign of atherosclerotic change.11
Arterial Wave Reflections and Determinants of Endothelial Function. A Hypothesis Based on Peripheral Mode of Action
2007, American Journal of HypertensionCitation Excerpt :In contrast, wave reflections (AIx) decreased to a greater degree with the arterial dilator combination (perindopril/indapamide).25 These findings at first glance seem to be at variance with previous studies, where endothelium-derived NO has been shown to regulate large artery stiffness (measured as PWV).26,27 However, vascular beds investigated in those studies were iliac artery and the coronaries, which is in contrast to our study (we examined strictly aortic PWV).
Mechanical strain stimulates a mitogenic response in coronary vascular smooth muscle cells via release of basic fibroblast growth factor
2001, American Journal of HypertensionEffects of exercise training on vascular function and myocardial perfusion
2001, Cardiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :IVUS also looks beyond the endothelial surface, giving valuable information about composition of the vascular wall and plaque morphology. For these reasons, IVUS has also been used by some investigators to quantify the endothelial function,64 to assess coronary arterial distensibility,74 and to calculate the coronary baseline vasomotor tone.69 It proved to be especially valuable whenever correlations between endothelial dysfunction and the degree of coronary atherosclerosis were in focus.45,54
