Why the study?
Is normal pregnancy associated with enhanced endothelium-dependent flow-mediated vasodilation compared to nonpregnant controls?
Is normal pregnancy associated with enhanced endothelium-dependent flow-mediated vasodilation compared to nonpregnant controls?
Normal pregnancy is associated with progressively enhanced endothelium-dependent flow-mediated vasodilation, suggesting increased basal and stimulated nitric oxide activity.
