Abstract

Arterial endothelial dysfunction is one of the key early events in atherogenesis, preceding structural atherosclerotic changes. It is also important in the late stages of obstructive atherosclerosis, predisposing to constriction and/or thrombosis. Endothelial function can be measured in coronary arteries and in the periphery by measuring vasomotor function after intra‐arterial infusion of pharmacologic substances which enhance the release of endothelial nitric oxide. The disadvantage of these methods is their invasive nature, which generally makes them unsuitable for studies involving asymptomatic subjects. For this reason, noninvasive tests of endothelial function have been developed. In the most widely used of these, an ultrasound‐based method, arterial diameter is measured in response to an increase in shear stress, which causes endothelium‐dependent dilatation. Endothelial function assessed by this method correlates with invasive testing of coronary endothelial function, as well as with the severity and extent of coronary atherosclerosis. This noninvasive endothelial function testing has provided valuable insights into early atherogenesis, as well as into the potential reversibility of endothelial dysfunction by various strategies, including pharmacological agents (lipid lowering, ACE inhibition), l‐arginine, antioxidants and hormones.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
