Recently, nitroglycerine-induced vasodilation has also been reported to be impaired in patients with atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between nitroglycerine-induced vasodilation and cardiovascular risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Approach and Results\u2014<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              We measured nitroglycerine-induced vasodilation and FMD in 436 subjects who underwent health examinations (mean age, 53\u00b119 years; age range, 19\u201386 years), including patients with cardiovascular diseases. There was a significant relationship between nitroglycerine-induced vasodilation and FMD (\n              <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.42;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.001).

Nitroglycerine-induced vasodilation was significantly smaller in patients with cardiovascular disease than in both subjects with and without cardiovascular risk factors (10.5\u00b15.6% versus 13.7\u00b15.4% and 15.3\u00b14.3%;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.001, respectively), whereas there was no significant difference in nitroglycerine-induced vasodilation between subjects with and without cardiovascular risk factors.
