Abstract
Purpose: Impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilatation is a diffuse disease process resulting in abnormal regulation of blood vessel tone and loss of several atheroprotective effects of the normal endothelium. Systemic vascular endothelial function can be evaluated through measuring brachial arterial vasodilatation (physiologic answer to reactive hyperemia after transient ischemia), using high-resolution ultrasonography. The aim of the present study was to investigate the parameters of endothelial function in diabetic patients.
