Global impairment of brachial, carotid, and aortic vascular function in young smokers: direct quantification by high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging.
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess vascular dysfunction in young smokers by high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). BACKGROUND: Cigarette smoking is a well-known cause of endothelial dysfunction, reflected by impaired brachial artery reactivity to hyperemia. We hypothesiz...
