Abstract
Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Wine consumption has been associated with cardiovascular benefits, which are attributed to the presence of flavonoids. Objectives: To assess the effects of alcoholic and non-alcoholic red wine on endothelial function by measuring variations in brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and analyzing changes in arterial diameter, heart rate, and blood pressure. Methods: A randomized, parallel, controlled clinical trial was conducted with 22 participants assessed at 2 distinct time points. Participants [...] Abstract Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide.
