Blood Flow and PWV Study.xlsx

The overall goal of this research is to determine the impact of increased blood flow on peripheral arterial stiffness. We hypothesize that increasing limb blood flow by reactive hyperemia will reduce arterial stiffness as measured by pulse wave velocity.本研究的总体目标为明确血流量增加对外周动脉僵硬度的影响。我们提出假说：通过反应性充血（reactive hyperemia）增加肢体血流量，将可降低经脉搏波速度（pulse wave velocity）测得的动脉僵硬度。
