Summary
To determine whether in the laser Doppler flowmetric parameters characteristic of endothelial
dysfunction at patients with clinically manifest atherosclerosis any change can be detected
at plavix (clopidogrel) treatment. Laser Doppler /LD/ measurement combined with iontophoresis
evaluates the effect of acetylcholine /ACh/ /endothelium dependent/ and sodium nitroprusside
/NSP/ /endothelium independent/ on the microcirculation of the skin
