摘要：

Measurement of flow velocity in the left anterior descending coronary artery by transesophageal echocardiography in subjects without risk factors for coronary artery disease (group 1) and in subjects with normal coronary arteries but conditions associated with endothelial dysfunction (group 2) revealed that there was a significantly impaired coronary flow velocity response to the cold presser test in group 2 subjects. Thus, transesophageal echocardiography provides a minimally invasive tool for the functional assessment of endothelium and can be valuable in evaluating endothelial dysfunction and recovery in a variety of disease states.
