Why the study?
Does the menstrual cycle modulate endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery?
Does the menstrual cycle modulate endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery?
Endothelium-dependent vasodilatation varies during the menstrual cycle, potentially due to endogenous estradiol.
Menstrual phase should be considered in FMD assessments of premenopausal women; leaves open whether estradiol-driven variation alters cardiovascular risk.
Endothelium-dependent vasodilatation varies during the menstrual cycle. The endogenous estradiol may be involved in this menstrual cycle-related vasodilatation.
