Assessment of peripheral vascular function with photoplethysmographic pulse amplitude
Background: Vasodilation of the peripheral arteries after reactive hyperaemia depends in part on the release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells. Previous studies mainly employed a fingertip tonometric device to derive pulse wave amplitude (PWA) and, therefore, measure PWA hyperaemic changes. Ano...
