even prior to its detection by angiography

Endothelial Release of Nitric Oxide Contributes
to the Vasodilator Effect of Adenosine in Humans
1. Both endothelium-independent
and endothelium-dependent dilation;
at high concentration of adenosine,
endothelium independent dilation
dominates while NO contributes to
the dilator effects of adenosine at
lower adenosine concentration.
2. Triggered nonspecifically by the
increase in flow (shear stress) rather
than by the specific stimulation of
endothelial adenosine receptors
