Vascular dysfunction after repair of coarctation of the aorta: impact of early surgery.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There is evidence for increased formation of free radicals in patients with hypertension, raising the possibility that NO is inactivated by free radicals, which impairs coronary endothelial function. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that the antioxidant vitamin C could improve abnormal endothelial functio...
