By means of non-invasive multichannel doppler ultrasound measurements, cigarette smoking in healthy subjects was shown to increase arterial wall stiffness and to alter the pattern of arterial blood flow, decreasing the pulsatility index. The pattern of blood flow seems to be a contributory factor in the development of arteriosclerosis, and these findings may provide insight into the underlying mechanisms.
通过无创多通道多普勒超声测量发现，健康受试者吸烟会增加动脉壁硬度并改变动脉血流模式，降低搏动指数。血流模式似乎是动脉硬化发展的一个促成因素，这些发现可能有助于深入了解其潜在机制。
