The beneficial effect of PTCA on autonomic balance was greater in patients with well-preserved carotid artery distensibility than in those with impaired carotid artery distensibility. These results suggest that the pathophysiological state of arterial distensibility may modify the autonomic balance even after myocardial ischemia-related LVWM abnormalities are improved.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
