Literature review reveals fasting improves endothelial function in patients with autoimmune diseases, suggesting potential cardiovascular benefits.

Fasting enhances nitric oxide availability, improving endothelial function in autoimmune diseases, and reducing systemic inflammation.
Evidence shows that fasting reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines, leading to better flow-mediated dilation and vascular health.
Animal and human studies indicate fasting promotes benefits through metabolic reprogramming and autophagy in managing cardiovascular risk.
Challenges include variability in fasting protocols and the need for long-term randomized controlled trials to ensure safety and efficacy.

Al‐Mohammad et al. (2025) studied this question.
