Assessment of Endothelial Function in Patients with Takayasu Arteritis by Measuring Flow-Mediated Vasodilation and Correlating it with Plasma Levels of Reactive Nitrogen Intermediates

Abstract: A B S T R A C T BACKGROUNDTakayasu arteritis (TA) is the most common cause of renovascular hypertension in young Asians. We wanted to assess endothelial function in patients with TA using flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) and its correlation with plasma levels of reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI). METHODSTwenty patients with TA and 20 age-and sex-matched controls were studied. After obtaining informed consent, a detailed clinical examination and appropriate laboratory investigations were performed to assess… Show more
