Development of the new method for evaluation of vascular function after exercise as a risk assessment for early phase atherosclerosis

这项研究的目的是建立一种评估运动后血管扩张不足的方法，运动后血管扩张不足被认为是早期动脉粥样硬化的症状。动脉僵硬被用作血管功能的标志。在中等强度的台阶运动后，观察到动脉僵硬的一过性下降。这种改变存在个体差异，在高脂肪饮食后，动脉僵硬的这种下降没有观察到，这被认为是损害血管功能的。总而言之，测量10分钟中等强度踏板运动后的动脉僵硬可能有助于评估早期动脉粥样硬化的症状。

The purpose of this study was to establish the method to evaluate an insufficiency of vasodilation after exercise which is considered to be a symptom of an early phase atherosclerosis. Arterial stiffness was used as a marker of vascular function. A transient decrease in arterial stiffness was observed after a medium intensity step exercise. There was an individual difference in this change and this decrease in arterial stiffness was not observed after high fat meal which is considered to impair vascular function. In conclusion, the measurement of arterial stiffness after ten minutes step exercise at medium intensity may be useful to evaluate a symptom of early phase atherosclerosis
