Endothelial function as measured by peripheral arterial tonometry increases during pubertal advancement.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Sex steroids, such as estrogens, are known to influence endothelial function by their vasodilator action. The aim of this study was to study the relation of puberty and sex steroids with endothelial function using peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT). METHODS In 89 healthy school boys and girls, we determined height, weight, waist circumference, percent body fat, BMI, BMI z-sco...
متن کاملEndothelial Dysfunction of Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease Measured by Peripheral Arterial Tonometry
Objective. Endothelial dysfunction plays a key role in atherosclerotic disease. Several methods have been reported to be useful for evaluating the endothelial dysfunction, and we investigated the endothelial dysfunction in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) using peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) test in this study. Furthermore, we examined the factors significantly correlated wi...
متن کاملAssessment of endothelial function by non-invasive peripheral arterial tonometry predicts late cardiovascular adverse events.
AIMS There is growing need for the identification of novel non-invasive methodologies for the identification of individuals at risk for adverse cardiovascular (CV) events. We examined whether endothelial dysfunction, as detected by non-invasive peripheral arterial tonometry (EndoPAT), can predict late CV events. METHODS AND RESULTS Reactive hyperaemia (RH) was induced following upper arm occl...
متن کاملImpaired Peripheral Endothelial Function Assessed by Digital Reactive Hyperemia Peripheral Arterial Tonometry and Risk of In‐Stent Restenosis
BACKGROUND Drug-eluting stents are replacing bare-metal stents, but in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a problem. Reactive hyperemia index (RHI) assessed by peripheral arterial tonometry evaluates endothelial function noninvasively. We prospectively assessed the prognostic value of RHI in predicting ISR after percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS AND RESULTS RHI was measured before percu...
متن کاملThe Impact of a Single Apheretic Procedure on Endothelial Function Assessed by Peripheral Arterial Tonometry and Endothelial Progenitor Cells
Introduction: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) are involved in vascular repair and proliferation, contributing to the long-term outcomes of apheretic treatment. Aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between endothelial function, assessed by levels of bone marrow-derived progenitor cells and endothelial response to hyperaemia, and clinical and biohumoral parameters in high vas...
