Brief Summary

Endothelium is considered a real member, so it is contributing to determine the vascular homeostasis. The presence of endothelial dysfunction, evaluated in peripheral arteries by non-invasive study of the variation of gauge of the brachial artery as a result of post-ischemic hyperemia (FMD), is predictive of occurrence of major cardiovascular events. Several recent studies have shown that passive smoking is correlated with endothelial dysfunction and, therefore, non-smokers exposed subjects to passive smoking, have an increased risk of occurrence cardiovascular pathologies. From January 2008, a ministerial decree will ban smoking in bars, restaurants and nightclubs. The impact of exposure end to smoking in non-smoking subjects, as part of a prospective study and controlled, has never been evaluated.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparison of Endothelial function between two groups of non smoking workers exposed or not to passive smoking at work before and after interdiction of smoking decree as assessed by mean change in dilatation percentage of brachial artery.change between Day 0 and Day 90

Percentage of dilation of the brachial artery after test ischemia will be compared at the start and at the end of the study (Day 90)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Determination of flow mediated dilatation in non smokers patient as assessed by mean change in dilatation percentage of brachial artery.change between Day 0 and Day 90
