Abstract

Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) has been associated with impaired cardiovascular and endothelial function. CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator therapy, most recently, Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) has led to improved CFTR function and life expectancy, however, the risin...

This study assessed the micro- and macro-vascular endothelial function, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, and physical activity (PA) profiles in people with CF (pwCF) on ETI compared to healthy matched controls. Methods: In 15 pwCF and 15 age- and sex-matched controls, microvascular endothelial function (via transdermal delivery of insulin [INS] and acetylcholine [ACh] on the forearm), macrovascular endothelial function (via flow-mediated dilation [FMD] of the brachial artery), central haemodynamic parameters, including heart rate (HR), stroke volume index (SVi) and cardiac output index (Q&#x307;I) (via thoracic impedance cardiography), body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), and accelerometer-assessed PA, were measured. Results: There were no differences in INS or FMD-mediated vasodilation between the groups (P&gt;0.05). However, a reduced vasodilatory response was evident in pwCF following ACh-mediated vasodilation (P=0.01) and FMD normalised for shear rate (P=0.03). No differences in resting HR, SVi, Q&#x307;I, BP, BMI or PA were found (P&gt;0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrated reduced micro- and macrovascular function in pwCF. This dysfunction may have potential health implications, particularly regarding long-term cardiovascular risk and further longitudinal assessments are warranted.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>Journal of Cystic Fibrosis</journal><volume>0</volume><journalNumber/><paginationStart/><paginationEnd/><publisher>Elsevier BV</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint>1569-1993</issnPrint><issnElectronic/><keywords>Cardiovascular; CFTR modulator therapy; Endothelial function; Flow-mediated dilation; Iontophoresis; Physical activity</keywords><publishedDay>15</publishedDay><publishedMonth>2</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2025</publishedYear><publishedDate>2025-02-15</publishedDate><doi>10.1016/j.jcf.2025.02.001</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Engineering and Applied Sciences School</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>EAAS</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm>Another institution paid the OA fee</apcterm><funders>This study was funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Warriors Charity (Charity No 1178063).</funders><projectreference/><lastEdited>2025-06-10T14:40:22.9384782</lastEdited><Created>2025-03-25T13:56:41.1488812</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Science and Engineering</level><level id="2">School of Engineering and Applied Sciences - Sport and Exercise Sciences</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Lauren J</firstname><surname>Clayton</surname><orcid>0000-0002-4907-257x</orcid><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Anthony I</firstname><surname>Shepherd</surname><orcid>0000-0001-6392-7944</orcid><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Jo</firstname><surname>Corbett</surname><orcid>0000-0002-6552-6471</orcid><order>3</order></author><author><firstname>Maria</firstname><surname>Perissiou</surname><orcid>0000-0002-3974-2250</orcid><order>4</order></author><author><firstname>Gary</firstname><surname>Connett</surname><order>5</order></author><author><firstname>Julian</firstname><surname>Legg</surname><order>6</order></author><author><firstname>Mark</firstname><surname>Allenby</surname><orcid>0000-0001-7403-2097</orcid><order>7</order></author><author><firstname>Thomas</firstname><surname>Daniels</surname><orcid>0000-0002-5249-5100</orcid><order>8</order></author><author><firstname>Don S</firstname><surname>Urquhart</surname><orcid>0000-0002-9048-9692</orcid><order>9</order></author><author><firstname>Kelly</firstname><surname>Mackintosh</surname><orcid>0000-0003-0355-6357</orcid><order>10</order></author><author><firstname>Melitta</firstname><surname>McNarry</surname><orcid>0000-0003-0813-7477</orcid><order>11</order></author><author><firstname>Zoe L</firstname><surname>Saynor</surname><orcid>0000-0003-0674-8477</orcid><order>12</order></author></authors><documents/><OutputDurs/></rfc1807>
