| Core Tip |
Vasospastic angina usually carries a favorable prognosis with lifestyle modification and vasodilator therapy, but reliable noninvasive prognostic markers remain scarce. This study examined whether vascular endothelial dysfunction, assessed by brachial artery flow-mediated dilation, could serve as a marker. Patients with lower flow-mediated dilation values (< 3.7%) had worse outcomes, indicating that vascular endothelial dysfunction is associated with poorer prognosis in vasospastic angina. These findings highlight the potential role of endothelial function assessment in risk stratification, warranting further validation in larger studies. |
