Low FMD was associated with higher estimated CVD risk; leaves open incremental value over Framingham scoring in prospective studies.
Is impaired vascular endothelial function (low FMD) associated with increased Framingham-estimated 10-year cardiovascular disease risk in asymptomatic adults?
Impaired endothelial function, measured by low flow-mediated dilation, is associated with a higher Framingham-estimated 10-year cardiovascular disease risk in asymptomatic adults.
