Endothelial Dysfunction in Subjects With History of Premature Coronary Artery Disease

July 20, 2012 updated by: Hyuk-Jae Chang, Yonsei University

Randomized Placebo-controlled Crossover Trial of Endothelial Function Improvement in Subjects With History of Premature Coronary Artery Disease

The aim of this prospective study is to investigate the prevalence of endothelial dysfunction in subjects with family history of premature coronary heart disease. At the same time, the effect of atorvastatin in treating subclinical endothelial dysfunction in those patients will be evaluated.
