Hide Description

Change in vascular function using non-invasive vascular tests, measuring vascular compliance -Pulse, wave, velocity (PWV).

The central aortic pressure PWV was determined by using the pressure tonometer and an EKG signal was used simultaneously to visualize ventricular-vascular interactions.

7.Primary Outcome
Title Change in Vascular Function and Cardiometabolic Risk as Measured by RHI at Month 3
Hide Description

Change in vascular function using non-invasive vascular tests, measuring vascular compliance -Reactive hyperemia index (RHI).

RHI is a measure of endothelial dysfunction using noninvasive peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT). It is a ratio of the post-to-pre occlusion PAT amplitude of the tested arm, divided by the post-to-pre occlusion ratio of the control arm. RHI less than 1.67 is considered sign of endothelial dysfunction and RHI equal to or greater than 1.67 is considered normal function. The possible range of scores is 1 to 3. Increasing score indicates the improvement of coronary endothelial function
