Abstract
Transradial access has become the most commonly used method for cardiac catheterization. Many medical and technical applications have been proposed to reduce TRA complications. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of hand dominance on radial artery spasm and radial artery occlusionin subjects undergoing CC via TRA. Between April 2020 and August 2022, 1713 subjects who underwent CC via TRA were included in the study. Patient data were obtained in terms of hand dominance of the catheterized side and RAS and RAO during a 1-month follow-up period. RAS was seen in 9.6% of the subjects. The RAS in patients catheterized by the dominant hand was significantly higher than that performed by the non-dominant hand (12 vs 7.8%; P = .004). RAO was seen in 1% of the subjects. RAO was significantly higher in the spasm side than in the no-spasm side (3 vs .8%; P = .009). Hand dominance was determined as an independent predictor of radial artery spasm (P = .006). In our study, RAS and RAO were more common on the dominant hand side than on the non-dominant side. Choosing the non-dominant hand for TRA for CC may reduce the incidence of RAS and RAO.

Abstract
PURPOSE Healthy pregnancy is typically associated with favorable vascular adaptations to both structure and function of the peripheral arteries. Exercise is independently associated with improvements in peripheral vascular health; however, the impact of exercise on prenatal adaptations is unclear. Therefore, we hypothesized that a structured aerobic exercise intervention between the second and third trimester (TM2 and TM3, respectively) of pregnancy would augment the already-positive changes in vascular outcomes. METHODS We recruited 59 inactive pregnant women (<20 weeks gestation) and randomized them into control (standard care; n = 28) or exercise (moderate intensity aerobic exercise, 3-4 days/week, 25-40 minutes, 14 ± 1 weeks; n = 31) conditions. Before and after the intervention all women completed comprehensive peripheral vascular assessment, which included blood markers of vascular health, carotid distensibility metrics, measures of arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity; PWV), and [superficial] femoral artery reactivity during cold pressor test (CPT). RESULTS Carotid artery diameter increased from 6.5 mm to 6.9 mm (p < 0.001) strain (%)decreased from 9.9% to 8.4% (p < 0.001). Carotid artery blood flow, compliance and distensibility coefficients, stiffness (β), distensibility (1/β), and Elastic modulus were not different across gestation. PWV was not different across gestation. Superficial femoral artery diameter was increased from 5.4 mm to 5.6 mm (p = 0.004) while blood flow, conductance, and resistance at rest and during CPT were not different across gestation. None of our measures of vascular health were impacted by exercise. CONCLUSION We did not observe an impact of aerobic exercise on altering the changes across pregnancy in blood vessel health. However, the present study was conducted in women who were overall at low risk for developing gestational hypertension and should be interpreted with caution. Future work in high-risk women is needed.

Is there an athlete's artery? A comparison of brachial and femoral artery structure and function in male strength, power and endurance athletes. J Sci Med Sport 2021; 24:635-640. [PMID: 33840624 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsams.2021.02.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2020] [Revised: 02/08/2021] [Accepted: 02/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Exercise places physiological demands upon the cardiovascular system, subsequently leading to adaptations in structure and function. Different exercise modalities (endurance, strength and power) lead to distinct hemodynamic demands and, possibly, different patterns of adaptation. Our aim was to assess and compare brachial and femoral artery function and structure in elite level athletes engaged in endurance, strength and power sports. DESIGN cross sectional comparison. METHODS 30 male elite athletes (runners n=10, powerlifters n=11, weightlifters n=9) and 23 healthy controls were recruited. Brachial and femoral arterial diameters were assessed using ultrasound. Arterial function (brachial and femoral arteries) was determined using the flow mediated dilation (FMD) technique and body composition using body mass index (BMI) and body surface area (BSA). RESULTS Weightlifters had significantly larger brachial arterial diameters compared to controls (4.39±0.34 vs 3.86±0.42mm, p<0.01). As weightlifter and power athletes had significantly higher body mass, BMI and BSA, we adjusted diameter for BSA. BSA-correction ameliorated differences in brachial artery resting diameters between athletes and controls. However, BSA-corrected femoral artery diameter was significantly larger in runners compared to controls (3.51±0.28 vs 3.25±0.34mm, p<0.05). There were no differences in brachial FMD between groups. Femoral artery FMD was significantly higher in runners and weightlifters compared to controls (p<0.05 for both groups). CONCLUSIONS Heterogeneous, limb-specific structural and functional vascular adaptation is evident in athletes, which may be influenced by exercise modality. Further, vascular remodelling relates to differences in body shape, specifically body composition, which should be accounted for when comparing athletes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelial function assessment may provide important insights into the cardiovascular function and long-term effects of exercise training. Many studies have investigated the possible negative effects on cardiovascular function due to extreme athletic performance, leading to undesirable effects. The purposes of this study were to investigate the acute effects of maximal intensity exercise on endothelium-dependent vasodilation, and to understand the patterns of flow-mediated dilation (FMD) change following maximal exercise in elite female athletes with a high-volume training history. METHODS Twenty-six elite female soccer players (mean age, 22±4 years; BMI, 21±2 kg/m<sup>2</sup>; VO<inf>2max</inf>, 41±4 mL/kg/min) were evaluated. Brachial artery FMD was determined using high-resolution ultrasound at rest, and after 15 and 60 min of maximal cardiopulmonary exercise (CPX) testing on a treadmill. Flow velocity was measured at baseline and during reactive hyperemia at the same periods. RESULTS Rest FMD was 12.4±5.5%. Peak diameter in response to reactive hyperemia was augmented after 15 min of CPX (3.5±0.4 vs. 3.6±0.4 mm, P<0.05), returning to resting values after 60 min. However, %FMD did not change among time periods. There were two characteristic patterns of FMD response following CPX. Compared to FMD at rest, half of the subjects responded with an increased FMD following maximum exercise (10.5±6.1 vs. 17.8±7.5%, P<0.05). The other subjects demonstrated a reduced FMD response following maximum exercise (14.2±4.3 vs. 10.9±3.2%, P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that elite female soccer players presented robust brachial artery FMD at rest, with a heterogeneous FMD response to acute exercise with a 50% FMD improvement rate.

Abstract
We previously observed that brachial artery (BA) low-flow-mediated constriction (L-FMC) is inversely related to aerobic fitness (i.e., V̇o2peak) in older adults (OA). However, it is unclear if an L-FMC response is elicited in the popliteal artery (POP) or if a similar inverse relationship with aerobic fitness exists. Considering that the POP experiences larger shear stress fluctuations during sedentary behaviors and traditional lower limb modes of aerobic exercise, we tested the hypotheses that 1) heterogeneous L-FMC responses exist between the BA versus POP of OA, and 2) that aerobic fitness will be inversely related to POP L-FMC. L-FMC was assessed in 47 healthy OA (30 women, 67 ± 5 yr) using duplex ultrasonography and quantified as the percent decrease in diameter (from baseline) during the last 30 s of a 5-min distal cuff occlusion period. When allometrically scaled to baseline diameter, the BA exhibited a greater L-FMC response than the POP (–1.3 ± 1.6 vs. –0.4 ± 1.6%; P = 0.03). Furthermore, L-FMC responses in the BA and POP were not correlated ( r = 0.22; P = 0.14). V̇o2peak was strongly correlated to POP L-FMC ( r = –0.73; P < 0.001). The heterogeneous BA versus POP L-FMC data indicate that upper limb L-FMC responses do not represent a systemic measure of endothelial-dependent vasoconstrictor capacity in OA. The strong association between V̇o2peak and POP L-FMC suggests that localized shear stress patterns, perhaps induced by lower limb dominant modes of aerobic exercise, may result in greater vasoconstrictor responsiveness in healthy OA. NEW & NOTEWORTHY We compared low-flow-mediated constriction responses between the brachial and popliteal arteries of healthy older adults. Vasoconstrictor responses were not correlated between arteries. A strong relationship between aerobic fitness and low-flow-mediated vasoconstriction was observed in the popliteal artery. These findings suggest that brachial vasoconstrictor responsiveness is not reflective of the popliteal artery, which is exposed to larger shear stress fluctuations during bouts of sedentary behavior and traditional lower limb modes of exercise.
