Assessment of Endothelial Function Using Digital Pulse Amplitude Tonometry

Assessment of endothelial function using digital pulse amplitude tonometry.

The importance of endothelial dysfunction in the development and clinical expression of cardiovascular disease is well recognized. Impaired endothelial function has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Endothelial function may be evaluated in humans by assessing vasodilation in response to stimuli known to induce the release of nitric oxide. A novel pulse amplitude t...

Intraocular pressure and ocular pulse amplitude using dynamic contour tonometry and contact lens tonometry

BACKGROUND The new Ocular Dynamic Contour Tonometer (DCT), investigational device supplied by SMT (Swiss Microtechnology AG, Switzerland) allows simultaneous recording of intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular pulse amplitude (OPA). It was the aim of this study to compare the IOP results of this new device with Goldmann tonometry. Furthermore, IOP and OPA measured with the new slitlamp-mounted D...

Review on Dynamic Contour Tonometry and Ocular Pulse Amplitude

Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement is the cornerstone of the management of glaucoma patients. The gold standard for assessing IOP is Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT). Recently, the dynamic contour tonometer (DCT) has become available. While both devices provide reliable IOP measurements, the results are not interchangeable. DCT has the advantage of measuring an additional parameter: ocu...
