Venous gas emboli are involved in post-dive macro, but not microvascular dysfunction.
Abstract
Previous studies have shown vascular dysfunction of main conductance arteries and microvessels after diving. We aim to evaluate the impact of bubble formation on vascular function and haemostasis. To achieve this, we used a vibration preconditioning to influence bubble levels without changing any other parameters linked to the dive.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishe- info:eu-repo/semantics/article
