We studied macrovascular and microvascular endothelial function simultaneously in different vascular beds in relation to cardiovascular mortality risk (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation, SCORE) and hypertension induced cardiac organ damage, and their interrelationship. The study investigated 71 hypertensive patients by forearm post-ischemic flow-mediated vasodilation, pulse wave analysis (applanation tonometry) and beta 2-adrenoceptor agonist stimulation for changes in reflection index, skin microvascular reactivity by laser Doppler fluxmetry with iontophoresis and heat-induced hyperaemia, and coronary microvascular function by subendocardial viability ratio (derived from pulse wave analysis). Flow mediated vasodilation related inversely to SCORE (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u20090.34, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.011). Adding microalbuminuria and pulse wave velocity strengthened the associations. Pulse wave reflection changes did not relate to SCORE. Skin microvascular reactivity related inversely to SCORE (peak flux change to sodium nitroprusside <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u20090.29, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.033, and to heating <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u20090.31, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.018). Subendocardial viability ratio did not relate to SCORE. Endothelial function indices showed no consistent relation to cardiac target organ damage. The agreement between the different methods for evaluating indices of macrovascular and microvascular endothelial function was weak. In conclusion, indices of macrovascular and microvascular endothelial function relate to cardiovascular mortality risk. Their use may improve cardiovascular risk prediction in hypertension. However, methods representing different vascular beds show little interrelationship and are not interchangeable, which may depend on different pathogenetic mechanisms representing different aspects of future cardiovascular risk.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Trial registry<\/jats:italic>: NCT02901977<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00380-018-1265-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,22]],"date-time":"2018-09-22T11:42:28Z","timestamp":1537616548000},"page":"484-495","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["The interrelation of endothelial function and microvascular reactivity in different vascular beds, and risk assessment in hypertension: results from the Doxazosin\u2013ramipril study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"34","clinical-trial-number":[{"clinical-trial-number":"nct02901977","registry":"10.18810\/clinical-trials-gov"}],"author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3898-0839","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas","family":"Jekell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Majid","family":"Kalani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Kahan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"1265_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"191","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.104.2.191","volume":"104","author":"F Perticone","year":"2001","unstructured":"Perticone F, Ceravolo R, Pujia A, Ventura G, Iacopino S, Scozzafava A, Ferraro A, Chello M, Mastroroberto P, Verdecchia P, Schillaci G (2001) Prognostic significance of endothelial dysfunction in hypertensive patients.
