We excluded patients with any history of cardiovascular disease or risk factors possibly affecting peripheral artery tonometry. Enrolled patients were matched for sex, age, body mass index, and blood pressure with healthy controls with the same exclusion criteria. Patients and controls received a transthoracic Doppler echocardiogram and an evaluation of endothelial function by peripheral artery tonometry.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty patients (100% female) with a median disease duration of 14 months (range 1\u201358 months), a mean \u00b1 <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SD<\/jats:styled-content> age of 42 \u00b1 15 years, and a mean \u00b1 <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SD<\/jats:styled-content> age at diagnosis of 40 \u00b1 16 years were enrolled and matched with 20 controls.
