Brachial artery diameter at baseline (blue), after flow-mediated dilatation (red), and after nitroglycerine induced dilatation (green) in young adults born very preterm or with extremely low birthweight (PB/ELBW) and term-born controls, presented as mean with 95% CI. Absolute flow-mediated dilatation was 0.17 mm (95% CI 0.14, 0.21) in the PB/ELBW group and 0.24 mm (95% CI 0.20, 0.28) in the control group. Dbaseline: brachial artery diameter at baseline; Dflowmediated: brachial artery diameter after flow-mediated dilatation; Dpeaknitro: brachial artery diameter after nitroglycerine induced dilatation.
