Red Wine Acutely Induces Favorable Effects on Wave Reflections and Central Pressures in Coronary Artery Disease Patients

Abstract

Both types of red wine provoked favorable acute effects on wave reflections and central systolic pressures, whereas no such effect was evident at the brachial artery. Therefore, these findings could be attributed mainly to red wine antioxidant substances, rendering it a possible means of at least acute attenuation of increased wave reflections, arterial stiffness, and central pressures in patients with coronary artery disease.
