| Core Tip |
This study emphasizes the prognostic importance of endothelial-dependent vasodilation assessed by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in patients with vasospastic angina. Unlike nitroglycerin-induced dilation, FMD was independently associated with major adverse cardiovascular events, underscoring the pivotal role of endothelial dysfunction rather than vascular smooth muscle impairment. Careful model construction avoided overfitting despite limited events. Given its non-invasive nature, FMD may serve as a valuable risk-stratification and potentially diagnostic tool in vasospastic angina, warranting further prospective validation. |
