Inactive Matrix Gla Protein, Arterial Stiffness, and Endothelial Function in African American Hemodialysis Patients.

abstract：:In normal coronary arteries, increased flow velocity induces endothelium-dependent dilation, and dilation in response to sympathetic stimulation evoked by the cold pressor test is partly due to increased flow velocity. In arterial hypertension, angiographically normal coronary arteries were constricted by acetylcholin...
