Dilatação fluxo-mediada da artéria braquial em mulheres com artrite reumatóide

Abstract: OBJETIVO: Avaliar a função endotelial em pacientes com artrite reumatóide, pela dilatação fluxo-mediada da artéria braquial. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Sessenta e oito pacientes, sendo 32 com artrite reumatóide e 36 do grupo controle, foram avaliadas pela dilatação fluxo-mediada da artéria braquial (método ultra-sonográfico, no modo B, de avaliação de risco cardiovascular). Em um segundo tempo, foi avaliada a correlação entre a dilatação fluxo-mediada da artéria braquial, a proteína C reativa e o tempo de doença em … Show more

“…Laboratory evidences which corroborate the relationship between systemic endothelial dysfunction and PE include serum fibronectin concentration, factor VIII and thrombomodulin (5) ; impaired flow-mediated vasodilatation (7) ; decreased production of vasodilators such as nitric oxide and prostacyclin; increased production of vasoconstrictors such as endothelins and thromboxanes; and, biophysically, by impairment of the brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) (8,9) . Once the physiopathology of PE is briefly understood, the poor placental perfusion and endothelial dysfunction may be perceived as the most remarkable events in the development of such a condition.…”

“…The international terminology used for the method is FMD (6,8,9) , an acronym for flow-mediated dilation. However, some disagreement is observed among Brazilian studies, with two terms being utilized: FMD (10,11) , as "flow-mediated dilation", and another term simply called DILA (12)(13)(14)(15) . In the present study, the FMD acronym is adopted.…”

“…The endothelial profile can be evaluated by the measurement of brachial artery flowmediated dilatation (BAFMD), that is based on the capacity of production of nitric oxide released by the endothelium (8) , which will promote arterial dilatation. Such measurement is achieved by means of ultrasonography, a noninvasive, low-cost method that allows the detection of preplaque endothelial dysfunction and provision of prophylactic treatment to avoid the worsening of the condition resulting from such alterations.…”
