peripheral arterial tonometry based on post- and pre-occlusion values(English)

• e.g. of the pulse wave amplitude (PWA) as obtained during reactive hyperemia (induced by 5 minutes brachial artery occlusion by inflatable cuff) versus baseline. These values may be normalized to measurements from the contra-lateral arm, which serves as control for non-endothelial dependent systemic effects. Method is used to evaluate endothelial function
