Cardiovascular Signaling Integrity

Meaning

This refers to the optimal, uncompromised ability of the heart and vascular system to receive, process, and respond to regulatory signals, encompassing neural, hormonal, and local endothelial communications. High integrity indicates a robust, flexible cardiovascular system capable of precise adaptation to metabolic demands and stress. Conversely, a loss of integrity manifests as impaired vascular tone regulation, reduced endothelial function, and heightened cardiovascular risk. Assessing this integrity provides a deeper clinical understanding beyond simple structural measurements like blood pressure.
