Glycocalyx thickness and CFR in hypertensives R=0.40 p<0.05
Relationship arterial stiffness, coronary flow reserve with myocardial strain qincreased PWV and csbp were related with: Ø reduced GLS (r=0,35, r=0,40) Ø reduced CFR (r=-0,40, r=-0,35) (p<0,05 for all associations) qreduced CFR was also associated with impaired GLS (r=0,36) (p<0,05)
Conclusion Endothelial glucocalyx -is impaired in newly diagnosed untreated hypertensives and -is related with abnormal aortic elastic properties and coronary microcirculatory function leading to impaired LV longitudinal deformation

METHODS The$ perfused$ boundary$ region$ (PBR)$ in microvessels$ is$ the$ cell<poor$ layer$ which results$ from$ the$ phase$ separation$ between the$flowing$red$blood$cells$(rbc)$and$plasma. The$ PBR$ includes$ the$ most$ luminal$ part$ of glycocalyx$that$does$allow$cell$penetration. Increased$PBR$is$considered$an$accurate$index of$ reduced$ endothelial$ glycocalyx$ thickness because$of$a$deeper$penetration$of$the$rbc$in the$glycocalyx. $
