The probable mechanism is a microvascular disorder associated with endothelial dysfunction. In this study, brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilation was used as well as the endothelin-1 assay to assess endothelial function in patients with cardiac syndrome X (CSX), coronary artery disease (CAD), and healthy controls. All subjects underwent a 2-step brachial artery flow-related vasodilatation test. Serum endothelin-1, one of the most potent constricting factors, was measured for all participants. Patients with CSX had a lower brachial artery dilation ratio than controls but higher than that of CAD patients. Control subjects and CSX patients had higher endothelin-1 levels than CAD patients. CSX patients were found to have worse endothelial function than healthy volunteers, but patients with CAD had even worse endothelium function than CSX patients. ? 2008 SAGE Publications. |
