Correlates of femoral artery flow mediated dilation in a multi-ethnic sample of 12- to 26-year-olds.

Abstract

Ethnic differences in FMD are not in evidence for subjects in this age range. The inverse relationships observed in AAs between FMD and measures of altered endothelial system function, and ventricular structure and function, provide additional evidence for early clustering of measures of adverse cardiovascular prognoses in this group.
