Flow-mediated constriction: further insight into a new measure of vascular function
Key result
Low-flow-mediated constriction (L-FMC) provides complementary information to flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) by measuring resting endothelium-dependent vascular tone.

Implication
The editorial highlights that low-flow-mediated constriction (L-FMC) provides complementary information to flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD), suggesting that blunted FMD may reflect pre-existing endothelial activation rather than just dysfunction.

Gori et al. (2010) conducted an editorial in Endothelial dysfunction. Low-flow-mediated constriction (L-FMC) vs. Flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) was evaluated. Low-flow-mediated constriction (L-FMC) provides complementary information to flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) by measuring resting endothelium-dependent vascular tone.
