Flow mediated arterial dilation (FMAD) of the femoral artery by phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging in normal subjects, elderly patients with heart failure and normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) and patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFREF). FMAD is severely reduced in HFREF but is relatively preserved in HFNEF compared to age matched healthy normal subjects. From Hundley WG, Bayram E, Hamilton CA, Hamilton EA, Morgan TM, Darty SN et al.
