Structured PICO

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

I
Intervention
Noninvasive peripheral endothelial function tests (Flow-Mediated Vasodilation [FMD] in brachial artery and Reactive Hyperemia Peripheral Arterial Tonometry [RH-PAT] in fingertip artery)
O
Outcome
Cardiovascular eventshard clinical

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

Abstract

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.
