title: [Evaluation of vascular function by modern non-invasive methods].
abstract: Vascular functional alterations frequently precede morphological changes and, therefore, their recognition may theoretically improve early detection of vascular injury. The aim of this review is to demonstrate recently available non-invasive clinical methods including vascular stiffness examinations, flow-mediated vasodilatation, coronary flow reserve and myocardial flow reserve measurements.
