Key result
The abstract describes a study evaluating flow-mediated dilation in patients with essential hypertension and normotensive offspring, but truncates before reporting any quantitative results.
Why the study?
Is flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery impaired in treated hypertensive patients and normotensive offspring of subjects with essential hypertension compared to healthy controls?

Is flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery impaired in treated hypertensive patients and normotensive offspring of subjects with essential hypertension compared to healthy controls?
Bogomir Žižek (2001) conducted an observational in Essential hypertension (n=172). Essential hypertension and hypertensive familial trait vs. Healthy normotensive subjects was evaluated on Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery. The abstract describes a study evaluating flow-mediated dilation in patients with essential hypertension and normotensive offspring, but truncates before reporting any quantitative results.
