Background: Clinical and experimental studies suggest that MAC and/or AVS are manifestations of the atherosclerotic process. Systemic endothelial dysfunction is an early sign of the atherosclerotic process and can be assessed by ultrasonography of the brachial artery. UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
