Adaptation of vasomotor function of human coronary arterioles to the simultaneous presence of obesity and hypertension.
OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that simultaneous presence of obesity and hypertension activates adaptive vascular mechanisms affecting dilations of human coronary arterioles. METHODS AND RESULTS: Agonist-induced dilations were assessed in isolated pressurized coronary arterioles from patients (n=38) w...
