Serum Phosphate and Microvascular Function in a Population-Based Cohort

Higher serum phosphate is associated with cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Explanations of this association have focused on large vessel calcification and stiffness. Studies suggest that a higher serum phosphate induces microvascular dysfunction, but relationships in humans with direct measures of microvascular function are lacking.We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 3189 community-living participants that underwent skin...
