Waist circumference reduction is more strongly correlated with the improvement in endothelial function after acute coronary syndrome than body mass index reduction

Abstract
Endothelial function predicts recurrence of adverse cardiac events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Moreover, the recovery of endothelial function correlates with cardiac event-free survival.The aim of this study was to determine which clinical factors correlate with the improvement in endothelial function after ACS.Vascular endothelial function was assessed in 98 patients with ACS by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial...
