Differential impact of water immersion on arterial blood flow and shear stress in the carotid and brachial arteries of humans
Abstract Arterial shear stress is a potent stimulus to vascular adaptation in humans. Typically, increases in retrograde shear have been found to acutely impair vascular function while increases in antegrade shear enhance function. We hypothesized that blood flow and shear stress through the brachia...
