Does Vitamin C improve endothelial function of conduit arteries in patients with chronic heart failure?
Vitamin C improves endothelial function in patients with chronic heart failure by increasing nitric oxide availability, suggesting a role for radical-mediated nitric oxide degradation in CHF endothelial dysfunction.
Hornig et al. (1998) studied this question.
