Abstract:
Small vessel disease is more common in Afro-Caribbeans. A comparison of metabolic variables, inflammatory markers, and arterial function between 78 healthy Afro-Caribbeans and 82 matched Caucasians showed higher diastolic blood pressure, fasting insulin, tumor necrosis factor α, and interleukin 6 levels in Afro-Caribbeans, which was associated with the attenuation of small, but not large, vessel function.
