Measuring arterial waveform is measuring elasticity and endothelial function. Johanna Hol Fosse, Guttorm Haraldsen, Knut Falk, Reidunn Edelmann There are several reasons to consider the role of endothelial cells in COVID-19 and other emerging viral infections. First, severe cases of COVID-19 show a common breakdown of central vascular functions. Second, SARS-CoV-2 replicates in endothelial cells. […]
