Impact of catheterization on shear-mediated arterial dilation in healthy young men

ConclusionThis is the first study in young healthy individuals with intact a priori endothelial function to provide evidence of impaired shear-mediated dilation following catheterization. When combined with earlier studies in CAD patients, our data suggest the catheterization impairs artery function in humans.
