Title: Flow-mediated vasodilatation in the patients with anorexia nervosa | ||
Author: S. Palova, J. Charvat, J. Chlumsky | ||
Abstract: Objective: To compare flow-mediated vasodilatation in patients with anorexia nervosa and healthy subjects. Results: The average age of the patients with mental anorexia was 25.0±5.2 compared to 25.5±4.5 years of the healthy control subjects (NS). BMI was in 14.0±1.7 kg/m2 in patients with anorexia nervosa comparing to 20.4±1.0 kg/m2 in the healthy control subjects (p<0.001). The absolute increase of brachial artery size after reactive hyperemia was 0.029±0.006 cm (9%) in the anorexia nervosa patients and 0.039±0.006 cm (11 %) in the control subjects (p=0.002). After realimentation, the baseline mean diameter of the right brachial artery was comparable to the result before nutrition intervention – 0.34±0.05 cm but brachial artery increase due to reactive hyperemia was 0.036±0.05 cm (10.5 %). It was for 19 % higher compared to the first examination (p<0.001).
