Abstract The acute reduction in peripheral arterial stiffness during reactive hyperemia is assumed to be flow‐mediated; however, the mechanism remains unproven. We hypothesized that restricting the blood flow increase during reactive hyperemia would abolish the reduction in peripheral arterial stiffness. Fourteen healthy young adults (5 females, 25 ± 5 years, mean ± SD) underwent reactive hyperemia with a rapid‐release cuff on the upper arm inflated to 220 mmHg for 5 min: once with unrestricted blood flow and once with restricted blood flow by manually applying pressure to the brachial artery. Brachial–radial pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured with tonometers over brachial and radial arteries before cuff inflation and at 5, 15, and 30 min after release. Brachial blood flow was monitored with Doppler ultrasound. Baseline brachial–radial PWV was similar between conditions (10.3 ± 1.8 vs. 10.7 ± 1.7 m/s). With unrestricted flow, PWV decreased 5 min post‐reactive hyperemia (8.6 ± 1.1 m/s; p 0.05) post‐reactive hyperemia. Reactive hyperemia acutely reduced peripheral arterial stiffness, but not when brachial artery blood flow increase was restricted. This suggests that the reduction in peripheral arterial stiffness during reactive hyperemia depends on increased blood flow. |
