Implication

Should not yet change risk assessment; leaves open utility of digital vasodilator function in prospective cohorts.

Structured PICO

Is digital vascular function related to cardiovascular risk factors in the Framingham Heart Study?

P
Population
Participants in the Framingham Heart Study
I
Intervention
Assessment of digital vascular function via reactive hyperemia (fingertip pulse amplitude)
O
Outcome
Relation of digital vasodilator function to cardiovascular risk factorssurrogate

Digital vasodilator function correlates with traditional and metabolic cardiovascular risk factors, highlighting its potential utility in cardiovascular risk assessment.
