Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Endothelial dysfunction assessed by brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is a marker for early atherosclerotic vascular disease and future cardiovascular events. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the heritability of brachial artery FMD using a twin design. METHODS: We estimated the heritability of FMD using 94 middle-aged male twin pairs. FMD was measured by ultrasound, and traditional coronary heart...
