Article Synopsis
- Endothelial dysfunction increases the risk of major bleeding and adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome, as shown in a study of 674 patients over 6.1 years.
- 39.2% of patients were identified with endothelial dysfunction, which was linked to a greater likelihood of major bleeding (hazard ratio 2.29) and major cardiovascular events (hazard ratio 2.04).
- The study concluded that assessing endothelial dysfunction using the reactive hyperaemia index can help predict future cardiovascular issues and increased risk of cardiovascular death, while no association with non-cardiovascular death was found.
