RH-PAT detects lower endothelial function in pediatric T1D; Level 5 data leave open its validation as a clinical surrogate.
Does reactive hyperemia-peripheral artery tonometry (RH-PAT) detect altered endothelial function in children with type 1 diabetes compared to children without diabetes?
RH-PAT demonstrates altered endothelial function in children with type 1 diabetes, suggesting its potential utility as a non-invasive tool for cardiovascular risk stratification.
Haller et al. (2007) studied this question.
