Evaluation of the Association between Compensated Hepatitis C Infectivity and Endothelial Dysfunction, Using Flow-Mediated Vasodilatation of the Brachial Artery

Conclusion: Our results show that hepatitis C positivity in compensated patients, in the absence of cardiovascular risk factors, does not appear to be independently associated with endothelial dysfunction when objectively analyzed by brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilatation.
