Abstract | Current methods used to evaluate the endothelial function have limitations. The analysis of the pulse wave velocity (PWV) response to transient ischaemia could be an alternative to evaluate the endothelial dynamics. Aims: To analyze (a) the carotid-radial PWV temporal profile during flow mediated dilatation test, and (b) the PWV changes considering its main vascular geometrical (diameter) and intrinsic (elastic modulus) determinants. Methods: Sixteen healthy young adults were included. The carotid-radial PWV (strain gauge mechano-transducers), wall thickness and brachial diameter (B-Mode ultrasound) were measured before (basal state), during a forearm cuff inflation (5 minutes) and after its deflation (10 minutes). The PWV, brachial diameter and elastic modulus changes and temporal profile were analyzed (basal state, 15, 30, 45, and 60 seconds after cuff deflation). Results: Transient ischaemia was associated with arterial stiffness changes, evidenced by carotid-radial PWV variations. The PWV and diastolic diameter changes, and temporal profiles differed. The arterial stiffness changes could not be explained only by geometrical (diameter) changes. Conclusion: The carotid-radial PWV analysis, evaluated using robust and simple available techniques, could be used in the clinical practice to study the vascular response to transient ischaemia and the endothelial function. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
