Endothelial dysfunction in systemic lupus erythematosus – a case-control study and an updated meta-analysis and meta-regression
Abstract Endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilation (ED-FMD), a biophysical marker of endothelial dysfunction, is apparently impaired in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but such observation is inconsistent. Here, we assessed and compared the brachial artery ED-FMD (baED-FMD) using...
