Secondary erythrocytosis results in increased shear stress in cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD), which may modify the balance between vasodilators and vasoconstrictors and affect systemic endothelial function. Because no data are available on systemic vasomotion, systemic endothelial function and nitric oxide (NO) availability were investigated in CCHD patients.
