Methods Flow mediated dilation (FMD) and nitroglycerin mediated dilation (NMD) were measured using high-resolution ultrasound technique in 40 patients with DC and 42 controls without DC.Results In patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, FMD as well as NMD were much reduced compared with controls [(2 32?2 10)% vs(7 87?4 15)%,P
