The nature and extent of endothelial dysfunction in cyanotic adults is poorly understood. We sought to characterise endothelial function in this setting. <jats:italic>Methods:<\/jats:italic> A total of fourteen adults with cyanotic congenital heart disease (40\u00b13 years) together with age- and sex-matched healthy controls underwent assessment of nitric oxide-dependent vascular responses, including flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery and dynamic vessel analysis of the retina in response to flickering light. Plasma levels of the endothelium-derived vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 and the nitric oxide antagonist, asymmetric dimethylarginine, were measured. Circulating endothelial progenitor cells were assessed by flow cytometry. <jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> Flow-mediated dilatation was significantly lower in cyanosed adults than controls (4.0\u00b10.8 versus 7.2\u00b11.0%, p=0.019, n=11 per group). Retinal arterial and venous dilatory responses were also impaired (2.9\u00b10.8 versus 5.0\u00b10.6%, p=0.05 and 3.4\u00b10.3 versus 5.2\u00b10.7%, p=0.04, n=13). Serum levels of endothelin-1 and asymmetric dimethylarginine were higher in cyanosed adults (3.0\u00b10.6 versus 1.1\u00b10.1 pg\/ml, p=0.004 and 0.68\u00b10.05 versus 0.52\u00b10.02 \u03bcmol\/L, p=0.03, n=11). Endothelial progenitor cells (CD34<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>CD45<jats:sup>dim<\/jats:sup>CD133<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>KDR<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>) were reduced in those with chronic cyanosis (17\u00b14 versus 40\u00b16 per million white blood cells, p=0.005, n=11). <jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> Endothelial function is impaired in the systemic arteries and retinal vessels in adults with cyanotic congenital heart disease, suggesting a widespread endotheliopathy. Diminished numbers of endothelial progenitor cells might potentially contribute to these observations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1047951114000262","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,25]],"date-time":"2014-03-25T14:32:29Z","timestamp":1395757949000},"page":"511-519","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Widespread
