Objective: To know the frequency of endotelial dysfunction in adult-healthy individuals using the doppler assesment of post-oclussive vadodilation of brachial artery. Design: Between April and September 2004, we evaluate prospectively 150 individuals in non-Invasive Cardiology Service of HNGAI. We consider an abnormal test if there was a percentage below than 5% in the vasodilation of brachial artery. We study biochemical parameters, glucose levels, levels of lipids and homocysteine levels too. Results: We found 41 individuals (27.3%) with abnormal tests suggestive of endothelial dysfunction. This patients had the same age and sex than the other group without this characteristic, but had a higher level of glycaemia and homocysteine, and a different lipid profile. We found a higher percentage of history of Diabetes in first-line relatives in this group of patients. Conclusions: We found that 27.3% of young individuals without cardiovascular risk factors had abnormal tests suggestive of endothelial dysfunction. This patients had an alteration of their biochemical parameters and a higher percentage of antecedents of type 2 Diabetes. We recomend the follow up of this populations in risk, using this test.
