摘要
We demonstrate that peripheral vasodilatory capacity is impaired in patients with chronic congestive heart failure not treated with aspirin, but preserved in patients taking aspirin. Chronic angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition improves the decreased vasodilatory capacity in these patients, indicating that locally acting cyclooxygenase-dependent factors contribute to peripheral vasoconstriction in chronic congestive heart failure.
