Figure 3 Change in Shear Rate From Baseline to Hyperemia

(A) Brachial change in systolic shear rate from baseline to peak hyperemia in the 3 groups: reduction with increasing risk factors was not statistically significant. (B) Femoral change in systolic shear rate from baseline to peak hyperemia is progressively decreased as cardiovascular risk factors increase. Horizontal bars represent mean ± SD.
