PICO estructurado

Do noninvasive peripheral endothelial function tests (FMD and RH-PAT) predict cardiovascular events?

Noninvasive peripheral endothelial function tests (FMD and RH-PAT) are significant predictors of cardiovascular events with similar prognostic value.

Resumen

Noninvasive peripheral endothelial function tests, FMD and RH-PAT, significantly predicted cardiovascular events, with similar prognostic magnitude. Further research is required to determine whether the prognostic values of these 2 methods are independent of each other and whether an endothelial function-guided strategy can provide benefit in improving cardiovascular outcomes.
