Paradoxical vasoconstriction induced by acetylcholine in atherosclerotic coronary arteries.
The preliminary findings suggest that the abnormal vascular response to acetylcholine may represent a defect in endothelial vasodilator function, and may be important in the pathogenesis of coronary vasospasm.

Atherosclerosis disturbs the normal vasomotor response (no change or dilation) of large coronary arteries to mental stress; in patients with atherosclerosis paradoxical constriction occurs during mental stress, particularly at points of stenosis.

In animals, acetylcholine dilates normal arteries and produces vasoconstriction in the presence of hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, or atherosclerosis, reflecting endothelial cell dysfunction. In…

The response of normal coronary arteries to the CPT test is dilation, in part related to beta-adrenoreceptor stimulation and possibly flow-mediated endothelial dilation or alpha 2- adrenergic activity.

The improvement in endothelium-dependent vasomotion with cholesterol-lowering and antioxidant therapy may have important implications for the activity of myocardial ischemia and may explain in part the reduced incidence of adverse coronary events that is known to result from cholesterol- Lowering therapy.

It is hypothesized that NO, a vasodilator released constitutively by the endothelium, augments arterial elasticity in the human brachial artery and may adversely affect arterial Elasticity in humans.
Estrogen Improves Endothelium-Dependent, Flow-Mediated Vasodilation in Postmenopausal Women

It is hypothesized that long-term estrogen administration would improve vasomotor function in postmenopausal women and was conducted in a double-blind, randomized, crossover, placebo-controlled trial.
