Why the study?
Does peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) correlate with hemodynamical status (ABI) in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD)?
Population
67 patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
Design
Cross-sectional
Key result
The ankle brachial pressure index significantly and independently correlated with the reactive hyperemia index measured by peripheral arterial tonometry in patients with PAD (β=0.254, P=0.041).

RHI from PAT correlates with ABI in PAD; leaves open clinical adoption without larger prospective validation.

Does peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) correlate with hemodynamical status (ABI) in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD)?
Effect estimate: β=0.254
p-value: p=0.041
Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) is a useful tool that correlates with ABI, reflecting both endothelial dysfunction and hemodynamical state in patients with PAD.
Igari et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) (n=67). Ankle brachial pressure index (ABI) was evaluated on Correlation between reactive hyperemia index (RHI) and ABI value (β=0.254, p=0.041). The ankle brachial pressure index significantly and independently correlated with the reactive hyperemia index measured by peripheral arterial tonometry in patients with PAD (β=0.254, P=0.041).
