Isometric handgrip exercise seems to significantly reduce systolic blood pressure and carotid arterial distensibility. |
|
Ultrasound devices provide reliable measurements of lumen size, distensibility, wall thickness, and the presence of atheroma in large arteries. |
|
Primary endpoints will include aortic distensibility, as measured by state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging, and exercise tolerance. |
|
Pulse wave velocity is inversely correlated with arterial distensibility and relative arterial compliance. |
|
Carotid artery distensibility and function in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. |
|
Aortic distensibility and left ventricular diastolic functions in endurance athletes. |
|
Measurements of exercise tolerance and aortic distensibility proved to be more variable than anticipated for a study of this size and were not reportable. |
