Summary
Shear stress maybe the most crucial local factor affecting atherogenesis. The present study
investigated the effect of exposure to increased shear stress promoted by Enhanced External
Counterpulsation (EECP) on the progression of subclinical atherosclerosis and the underlying
inflammation- related molecular mechanisms
