Hypothesis-generating for arterial function under oscillatory flow; human studies needed before clinical consideration.
Bia et al. (2009) studied this question. High reversal and oscillatory flow conditions vs. Basal conditions was evaluated on Changes in aortic conduit (CF) and buffering (BF) functions. High reversal and oscillatory flow conditions in sheep were associated with smooth muscle contraction, increased arterial buffering function, and decreased conduit function.
