摘要

Endothelial dysfunction is thought to underpin atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The most widely used in vivo test of endothelial function is flow-mediated dilation (FMD). However, the results of FMD may be subject to some confounding factors that are not fully understood. We investigated potential biophysical confounding factors that could cause a disassociation between FMD and true endothelial cell shear stress response (the release of endothelium-dependent relaxing factors in response to wall shear stress). Arterial hemodynamics during FMD was simulated using a novel computational modeling approach. The model included an endothelial response function relating changes in wall shear stress to changes in local vascular stiffness in the arm arteries and accounted for vascular stiffening with increasing blood pressure. The hemodynamic effects of cuff inflation and deflation were modeled by prescribing intraluminal arterial pressure changes and peripheral vasodilation. Evolution of arterial diameter and flow velocity during FMD was assessed by comparison against in vivo data. Our model revealed that vasoconstriction occurring immediately after cuff deflation is independent of endothelial response function and entirely caused by the change in transmural pressure along conduit arteries. Moreover, for the same endothelial response function model, FMD values increased exponentially with increasing peak flow velocity, decreased linearly with increasing arterial stiffness at a rate of 0.95%/MPa, and increased linearly with increasing central blood pressure at a rate of 0.22%/mmHg. Dependence of FMD on confounding factors, such as arterial stiffness and blood pressure, suggests that the current FMD test may not reflect the true endothelial cell response.
