Acute effects of ACE inhibition on coronary endothelial dysfunction
The prerequisite of atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction, is characterised by impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation caused by the reduced bioavailibility of nitric oxide (NO). In order to assess the role of acute ACE inhibition in this setting, coronary arterial endothelial function was qu...
