RHI variability cautions against serial clinical monitoring; leaves open protocol optimization for research use.
What is the intrasubject variability and interday reproducibility of reactive hyperemia index (RHI) measured by repetitive peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) in healthy men?
Repetitive PAT measurements show no carryover effect at 1- and 2-hour intervals, but interday reproducibility is relatively low, comparable to brachial artery ultrasound.
Liu et al. (2009) studied this question.
