Nitric oxide and its endogenous inhibitor Asymmetric dimethyl -l - arginine both are increased in the heart failure milieu and are related to pathophysiogy of systolic impairment and endothelial dysfunction . To evaluate the levels of nitric oxide metabolites (NOx ) (as indirect evidence of nitric oxide level ) and the level of ADMA in patients with moderate to severe congestive heart failure both ischemic and idiopathic etiologies find any etiology - specific difference and test their relations to EF and endothelial function as measured by FMD
