Chronic inflammation plays a central role in the etiology of endothelial damage. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is the inability of the artery to dilate in response to an endothelial stimulus. We assessed the ED by measuring the reactive hyperaemia index (RHI) and the flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in a cohort of pediatric patients affected by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and comparing these parameters to a group of healthy controls (HC).

Abstract
Chronic inflammation plays a central role in the etiology of endothelial damage. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is the inability of the artery to dilate in response to an endothelial stimulus. We assessed the ED by measuring the reactive hyperaemia index (RHI) and the flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in a cohort of pediatric patients affected by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and comparing these parameters to a group of healthy controls (HC).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
