<p><b>Objectives:</b> The aim of the present study is to explore the correlation between vascular endothelial function and coronary artery stenosis in non-hypertensive patients with elevated blood pressure under stress.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> This study included 1141 patients suspected of having coronary artery disease (CAD) without hypertension. Coronary arteriography and ultrasonic detection were used to measure the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) function in the brachial artery. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to coronary angiography: experiment group, patients with blood pressure ? 140/90 mm Hg; control group, patients with blood pressure <140/90 mm Hg. The correlation between vascular endothelial function and coronary artery stenosis was observed.</p><p><b>Results:</b> The majority of the patients in the control group were found to have either normal coronary arteries or stenosis <50%. Patients in the experiment group (those with invasive blood pressure [IBP] >140/90) were more likely to have some degree of coronary artery stenosis. Specifically, there were significantly more patients with >50% stenosis in the experiment when compared with the control group (<i>P</i> < .05). The FMD in the experiment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (<i>P</i> < .05).</p><p><b>Conclusion:</b> The non-hypertensive patients with elevated blood pressure under stress had coronary artery stenosis, which was associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction.</p>
