Article history: Received 5 November 2016 Accepted 14 November 2016 Available online xxxx FMD [4]. Santini et al. [4] showed that vascular hyperreactivity in response to nitrate administration is particularly overt in vasodepressive syncope. In light of these studies, endothelial overactivity leading to paradoxical vasodilation of peripheral arteries maybe underlying mechanism of syncope in athletes. Thus investigating the endothelial function in athletes with VVS would be useful.
