Impaired post-exercise vasodilation in KT recipients may signal endothelial dysfunction; hypothesis-generating for longitudinal CV risk studies.
Does a 30-minute walk improve brachial artery endothelial vasodilatation in kidney transplant recipients compared to healthy controls?
Kidney transplant recipients exhibit an impaired acute endothelial vasodilatory response to aerobic exercise compared to healthy controls, potentially related to underlying coronary artery disease risk factors.
