Abstract

differences were found in blood pressure, stiffness, in endothelium dependent and independent vasodilatation between the two groups. Conclusions: IUGR caused by placental insufficiency appears to be associated with impaired vascular growth persisting into young adulthood. The smaller aortic dimensions and higher resting heart rate seen in both males and females of the IUGR group and the lower aortic compliance coefficient seen in male adolescents may influence the future cardiovascular health in these individuals.
