P74 WALL SHEAR RATE AND BRACHIAL ARTERY FLOW-MEDIATED DILATORY RESPONSE BETWEEN HEALTHY YOUNG AND OLDER POPULATIONS USING MULTI-GATE SPECTRAL DOPPLER ULTRASOUND

Background: Ageing is associated with an impaired brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) response and a reduced wall shear rate (WSR) stimulus may contribute to this response. However, a detailed analysis of the WSR-FMD response is lacking due to inherent difficulties of WSR estimation near...
