Clinical determinants of the macrovascular reactivity response as assessed by flow mediated slowing in people at risk for cardiovascular disease Open
Background Non-invasive methods that assess endothelial function may improve the evaluation of cardiovascular risk in primary care. Previous research showed that flow-mediated slowing (FMS) of the brachial-radial pulse wave velocity reflec…

Does endothelial function differ among sexes in patients with diabetes or kidney disease? Open
Background/introduction Endothelial dysfunction is a known driver of disease progression in both type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and kidney disease. Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD), representing endothelium-dependent nitric ox…

Assessing microvascular function in adults with type II diabetes using near-infrared spectroscopy: Implications for exercise capacity Open
Introduction Adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) commonly present with a worse exercise capacity compared to their healthy peers. The underlying mechanisms of this exercise intolerance, such as impaired microcirculation and altered…

Comparison of physical activity levels between men and women with major cardiovascular diseases Open
Background/Introduction Physical activity in daily life (PADL) is a crucial factor influencing mortality and quality of life in individuals with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). While previous research demonstrates notable differences in ex…
