Large and small artery endothelial dysfunction in chronic fatigue syndrome
DJ Newton, G Kennedy… - International …, 2012 - internationaljournalofcardiology.com
There is accumulating evidence that myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
(ME/CFS) is associated with cardiovascular symptoms including autonomic dysfunction [1],
impaired blood pressure regulation [2] and loss of beat-to-beat heart rate control [3]. A
number of recent studies reporting raised levels of oxidative stress [4], low-grade
inflammation [5] and increased arterial stiffness contribute to a picture of increased
cardiovascular risk in ME/CFS. One potential site of oxidative injury is the vascular …
