Endothelial dysfunction may represent an important link between chronic stress and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, few studies have examined the impact of chronic stress on endothelial dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to examine whether chronic stress was associated with flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and 2 biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction (intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin) in a multiethnic sample of adults (ages 45-84 years).
