Why the study?
Does flow-mediated vasodilatation of the brachial artery correlate with intima-media thickness of the carotid artery in men?

Endothelial dysfunction measured by brachial artery FMD is significantly correlated with carotid artery intima-media thickness, supporting its role in atherogenesis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
FMD was associated with carotid IMT in men; supports endothelial dysfunction in atherogenesis but remains hypothesis-generating.
Hashimoto et al. (1999) studied this question.
