A Case Control Study to Investigate the Possible Association Between Atrial Fibrillation and Endothelium Dysfunction by Using Flow-Mediated Vasodilation Method

• Conditions: Atrial Fibrillation; Endothelial Function

• Registration Number: NCT00173966
• Lead Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital

Brief Summary

Endothelial function is closely related to the hemostasis , vascular tone, and organ perfusion in cardiovascular system, and its dysfunction would cause overactivation of the coagulative system to induce thrombus formation. So we study the relationship between the endothelial function and atrial fibrillation.
