Endothelial dysfunction and hypertension

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: The aim of our study was to evaluate whether abnormal endothelial function is present in patients with arterial hypertension. Endothelial function was assessed by measuring flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and nitroglycerin-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery using high-resolution ultrasound. In the group of subjects with arterial hypertension endothelial function was significantly impaired (FMD 9,26%), whereas nitroglycerin-mediated dilatation was normal.
