Prognostic significance of endothelial dysfunction in hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND Forearm endothelial dysfunction, characterized by an impaired vasodilating response to acetylcholine (ACh), may be associated with several cardiovascular risk factors, including essential hypertension. Although the prognostic value of coronary endothelial dysfunction has been demonstrated, that of forearm endothelial dysfunction is still unknown. Methods and Results-- Endothelium-dep...
متن کاملPrognostic role of reversible endothelial dysfunction in hypertensive postmenopausal women.
OBJECTIVES ; The aim of the present study was to assess whether optimized antihypertensive treatment is effective in modifying endothelial function and whether an improvement in flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) in response to treatment, as an expression of reversible endothelial dysfunction, could predict a more favorable prognosis in a population of postmenopausal women. BACKGROUND Hypertens...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of microvascular dysfunction
Several studies have demonstrated a strong association between coronary vascular endothelial dysfunction and an adverse long-term cardiovascular prognosis. Both conduit arterial and microcirculatory endothelial function are predictive of outcome, independent of the presence of coronary artery disease and its risk factors. Thus assessment of endothelial function or its markers in patients with d...
متن کاملPulse pressure and endothelial dysfunction in never-treated hypertensive patients.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate whether pulse pressure (PP) is associated with endothelium-dependent vasodilation in a group of never-treated hypertensives. BACKGROUND Pulse pressure represents a well-established independent predictor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Forearm endothelial dysfunction, defined as impaired vasodilating response to acetylcholine (ACh), may b...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of endothelial dysfunction in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in the era of drug-eluting stents
BACKGROUND Endothelial function is a prognostic predictor in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, in an era with widespread use of drug-eluting stents, the clinical relevance of endothelial dysfunction on restenosis in patients undergoing PCI has not been fully evaluated. METHODS This study included 80 patients with stable angina pectoris. Flow-mediated dilat...
