Key result
Peripheral arterial tonometry shows no association with 10-year cardiovascular risk scores in healthy subjects.
Why the study?

PAT may aid CV risk discrimination in intermediate-risk patients; leaves open whether it improves primary prevention outcomes.

Does endothelial function assessed by peripheral arterial tonometry correlate with cardiovascular risk scores in healthy subjects?
Endothelial function assessed by peripheral arterial tonometry does not significantly correlate with established 10-year cardiovascular risk scores in healthy subjects.
Sigurðardóttir et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy subjects (n=102). Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) was evaluated on Relation of PAT results to 10-year cardiovascular risk score. Endothelial dysfunction assessed by peripheral arterial tonometry was not significantly associated with calculated 10-year cardiovascular risk scores in healthy subjects.
