Abstract
We demonstrated that endothelial function in patients with essential hypertension is impaired by a decrease in nitric oxide production using both reactive hyperemia and acetylcholine infusion methods. This noninvasive method of evaluating reactive hyperemia is a useful alternative to intra-arterial infusions of vasoactive agents in the assessment of resistance vessels' endothelial function in forearm circulation.Entities:
