Acetylcholine-induced vasodilation in the forearm, but not FMD, was inversely related to CRP and e-selectin levels independently of traditional risk factors in elderly subjects. As also endothelium-independent vasodilation was related to CRP and e-selectin, general vasoreactivity in resistance arteries seems to be effected by low-grade inflammation in elderly subjects.
