[Impaired endothelium-dependent forearm vasodilation in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy is related to severe left ventricular dysfunction and elevated serum tumor necrosis factor levels].

Rev Esp Cardiol. 2005 May;58(5):477-83, PMID: 15899192

Endothelial dysfunction has been found in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC), but its mechanism remains unknown. Our aim was to investigate whether forearm endothelium-dependent vasoreactivity correlates with cardiac disease severity or neurohormonal activation.
