Clinical characteristics of lower-extremity edema in stage A cardiovascular disease status defined by the ACC/AHA 2001 Chronic Heart Failure Guidelines.

abstract：:Endothelial dysfunction is increasingly recognized as an early event in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. This observation is consistent with the growing appreciation of the role of endothelium in maintaining cardiovascular health. Endothelial dysfunction and coronary artery disease are both linked to hypert...
