ABSTRACT
In the context of the global burden of cardiovascular disease, the development of novel, patient-targeted diagnostic and therapeutic strategies is of paramount importance. Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) comprise a subset of cardiovascular disease, with constantly increasing prevalence requiring urgent attention. Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), a noninvasive method for the evaluation of endothelial function, has been previously implemented in patients with ACS. A systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines was conducted in order to identify all relevant studies assessing the implementation of FMD among patients with ACS. Our review reflects an effort to present all available data regarding the role of FMD to date, a valuable noninvasive and easy accessible diagnostic tool, in the prognosis of patients with ACS. FMD evaluation in patients with ACS reveals a decline in values, indicative of the presence of endothelial function among this distinct patient group. FMD has also been used to assess the response to various treatments, as well as to predict major adverse cardiovascular events. Dynamic responses to interventions highlights its potential in the evolving field of interventional cardiology.
