Abstract
Endothelial vasomotor dysfunction was observed in patients with ABD in both active and inactive stages of the disease thus brachial artery flowmediated dilation test seems unable to detect activity of the disease No sign of peripheral atherosclerosis as assessed by IMT was observed in our study group Arterial stiffness was reduced in patients with active disease and AI could be useful in the future for detecting ABD activity more studies are needed on this issue Our study is being continued in order to increase the number of our study objects and validate the use of AI and FMD for the control of the activity of ABD and prediction of vascular complications respectively
