Popis: Aim. To assess the impact of non-specific congenital connective tissue disorders (CCTD) on the changes in arterial stiffness and endothelial function; to study the role of CCTD as an independent predictor of structural and functional arterial changes.Material and methods. The study included 147 18–50-year-old men and women with CCTD and 85 healthy volunteers, comparable by age and gender (controls). All participants underwent a screening assessment of cardiovascular risk factors (RFs) and the assessment of heart rate variability (HRV), pulse wave velocity (PWV) at baseline (PWVbas) and after sublingual administration of nitroglycerin (PWVntg), and endothelium-dependent vasodilatation (EDVD), assessed by photopletismography.Results. Compared to the control group, CCTD patients had lower values of body mass index (p
