Intra ‐ and inter‐day reproducibility of low‐flow mediated constriction response in young adults

ConclusionVasoconstriction to low‐flow conditions influences the subsequent maximal dilation during reactive hyperaemia. However, L‐FMC is variable as evidenced by the weak intra‐ and interday reproducibility of the measure. Further research should study brachial L‐FMC reproducibility among varying populations and the implications L‐FMC has on the interpretation of FMD results.
