Abstract The measurement of vascular function in isolated vessels has revealed important
insights into the structural, functional, and biomechanical features of the
normal and diseased cardiovascular system and has provided a molecular
understanding of the cells that constitutes arteries and veins and their
interaction. Further, this approach has allowed the discovery of vital
pharmacological treatments for cardiovascular diseases. However, the expansion
of the vascular physiology field has also brought new concerns over scientific
rigor and reproducibility. Therefore, it is appropriate to set guidelines for
the best practices of evaluating vascular function in isolated vessels. These
guidelines are a comprehensive document detailing the best practices and
pitfalls for the assessment of function in large and small arteries and veins.
Herein, we bring together experts in the field of vascular physiology with the
purpose of developing guidelines for evaluating ex vivo vascular function. By
using this document, vascular physiologists will have consistency among
methodological approaches, producing more reliable and reproducible results.
