Flow Mediated Dilation and Its Correlation with Coronary and Systemic Atherosclerosis in Patients Scheduled for Surgical Myocardial Revascularization by Boieriu AM, Luca CD, Tint D

“…A lower FMD corresponded to a higher SYNTAX score, reflecting an extensive burden of coronary atherosclerosis. Furthermore, ED, as measured by FMD, was indicative of carotid atherosclerosis and PAD, as evidenced by lower FMD in patients with severe carotid plaques (p < 0.001) and severe PAD (p < 0.01).Conclusion: FMD might be a reliable tool to assess systemic atherosclerosis, ED in the brachial artery being related to carotid artery plaque, CAD and peripheral lower limb ischemia.Keywords: flow mediated dilation, SYNTAX I score, carotid stenosis, peripheral artery disease, coronary artery by-pass graft, coronary artery disease…”
