Vascular Function
Arterial stiffness, vascular health, and peripheral blood flow dynamics
Understand how blood vessels respond, adapt, and contribute to cardiovascular risk.
Vascular function assessment provides insight into how blood vessels respond, adapt, and contribute to overall cardiovascular health. These measurements are widely used in cardiovascular research and clinical research environments focused on vascular aging, disease, and risk.

What You Can Measure
Arterial Stiffness (PWV)Measure pulse wave velocity to assess arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk
|
Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)Evaluate peripheral blood flow and detect vascular abnormalities
|
Peripheral Blood PressureAssess vascular pressure dynamics across limbs and regions
|
Endothelial Function (FMS)Measure vascular response and endothelial health using flow-mediated slowing
|
Why Vascular Function Measurement Matters
Vascular function provides insight into arterial health that cannot be captured through blood pressure measurements alone.
Changes in arterial stiffness and endothelial function are strongly associated with cardiovascular risk and often precede overt disease.
By measuring how blood vessels respond and adapt, researchers can better understand disease progression, intervention effects, and the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular health.

Applications
Vascular function assessment is widely used in cardiovascular research focused on arterial stiffness, vascular aging, and endothelial function.
It plays an important role in clinical research and translational studies investigating cardiovascular risk, disease progression, and intervention effects.
In multi-system studies, it is often combined with hemodynamic and autonomic measurements to provide a more complete understanding of cardiovascular physiology.
