Is exercise-induced radial artery vasodilation preserved following radial artery catheterization in coronary artery disease patients?
Exercise-induced vasodilation remains preserved in the radial artery after catheterization, supporting the physiological viability of exercise-based rehabilitation despite local endothelial damage.
Preserved handgrip vasodilation may support exercise rehab post-radial catheterization in CAD; leaves open compensatory mechanisms despite endothelial impairment.
Despite depressed flow-mediated endothelium-dependent dilation following catheterization-induced damage, radial artery responses to handgrip exercise were preserved. This suggests that arterial responses to catheterization may be stimulus specific and that redundant mechanisms may compensate for vasodilator impairment during exercise. This has implications for exercise-based rehabilitation after catheterization.

Tryfonos et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease. Handgrip exercise following radial artery catheterization was evaluated on Radial artery responses to handgrip exercise and flow-mediated endothelium-dependent dilation. Radial artery responses to handgrip exercise were preserved following catheterization-induced damage in coronary artery disease patients, despite depressed flow-mediated dilation.
