Figure 4 Interaction between plaque burden and endothelial function in prediction of future adverse vascular events. Patients with high flow-mediated dilation (FMD)/nitroglycerin-mediated dilation (NMD) ( 0.34) had low event rates irrespective of the plaque area. The highest event rate was seen in patients with a high plaque burden (6.59 mm2) and low FMD/NMD (<0.34) (p < 0.05).
