Should not change clinical practice; leaves open EDHF compensation as hypothesis-generating for human endothelial studies in CHF.
In a rat model of non-atherosclerotic CHF, EDHF-mediated vasodilation is up-regulated, potentially as a compensatory mechanism for decreased NO-activity to preserve endothelial function.
Malin Malmsjö (1999) studied this question.
