Test–retest reliability of Doppler ultrasound‐based leg blood flow assessments during exercise in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Doppler ultrasound may be used to assess leg blood flow (Q̇leg${{\dot{Q}}_{{\mathrm{leg}}}}$), but the reliability of this method remains unexplored in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where between‐subject variability may be larger than healthy due to peripheral vascular changes.

Vascular health and exercise in females throughout the lifespan: Exploring puberty, pregnancy and menopause

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This narrative review highlights the impact of exercise on vascular health in females over the lifespan with an emphasis on puberty, pregnancy and menopause. These events encompass substantial changes in sex hormone levels, particularly oestrogens and progesterone.

Common carotid intima-media thickness measurements in cardiovascular risk prediction: a meta-analysis.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2012
CONTEXT The evidence that measurement of the common carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) improves the risk scores in prediction of the absolute risk of cardiovascular events is inconsistent.

The therapeutic role of exercise training during menopause for reducing vascular disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Menopause marks a major milestone in female reproductive ageing. It is characterized by the cessation of ovarian function and a concomitant decline in hormones such as oestradiol. Subsequently, females undergoing menopausal transition experience a progressive increase in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease risk.
