Peak common carotid artery vasoreactivity

1. Pulse pressure is associated with peak common carotid artery vasoreactivity in humans (r = 0.677).

   “whereas in untrained control subjects it was positively correlated with peak pulse pressure (r = 0.677; P = 0.031).”

1. Common carotid artery β2-stiffness is associated with peak common carotid artery vasoreactivity in humans (r = -0.655).

   “CAR%peak was negatively correlated with baseline β2-stiffness in resistance-trained men (r = -0.655; P = 0.040)”

1. Resistance training is associated with peak common carotid artery vasoreactivity in humans.

   “CAR%peak was greater in resistance-trained men (P = 0.046).”
