This was a large study assessing endothelial dysfunction in IBD. Both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease patients showed evidence of microvascular endothelial dysfunction. Future research could determine whether endothelial dysfunction is involved in the pathogenesis of IBD or increases the risk of cardiovascular events in this patient population.
