iaspan for the treatment of endothelial dysfunction in patients without hyperlipoproteinemia - ENDOTHE
- Conditions
- Patients in this study do have symptomes like dyspnea, reduced maximum stress and do have a weakness feeling.We are analysing the endothelial function via the FMD-methode: Before and after a Niaspan-treatment of 6 months.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: - Is a treatment with Niaspan leading to an improvement of the endothelial function analysed via FMD-methode.;Secondary Objective: - Is Niaspan mobilizing endothelial progenitor cells?<br>- Has got the treatment with Niaspan®an influence on biomarkers like hsCRP, <br> n-ANP, Pro-BNP, PAI-1, HSP-70, Hemoxygenase?<br>- Is the treatment with Niaspan® influencing parameters like hsCRP, Il-1ß, sVCAM?;Primary end point(s): - Improvement of the endothial function.
