This review outlines modern non-invasive methods for evaluating vascular function, which may improve early detection of vascular injury before morphological changes occur.
Vascular functional alterations frequently precede morphological changes and, therefore, their recognition may theoretically improve early detection of vascular injury. The aim of this review is to demonstrate recently available non-invasive clinical methods including vascular stiffness examinations, flow-mediated vasodilatation, coronary flow reserve and myocardial flow reserve measurements.
