Microvascular Glycocalyx Dimension Estimated by Automated SDF Imaging is not Related to Cardiovascular Disease

Objective The EG regulates vascular homeostasis and has anti‐atherogenic properties. SDF imaging allows for noninvasive visualization of microvessels and automated estimation of EG dimensions. We aimed to assess whether microcirculatory EG dimension is related to cardiovascular disease. Methods Subl...

Description
Summary:Objective The EG regulates vascular homeostasis and has anti‐atherogenic properties. SDF imaging allows for noninvasive visualization of microvessels and automated estimation of EG dimensions. We aimed to assess whether microcirculatory EG dimension is related to cardiovascular disease. Methods Sublingual EG dimension was estimated by SDF imaging in healthy volunteers and in patients visiting an outpatient clinic for vascular medicine of a university hospital in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. EG dimension was compared among healthy volunteers, patients with CVD, and patients at low (
