Measurements of FMD and NID
artery transducer
VASODILATION, REACTIVE HYPEREMIA
FMD was measured in vascular response to reactive hyperemia in the brachial artery as endothelium-dependent vasodilation. A high-resolution linear artery transducer was coupled to computer-assisted analysis software (UNEXEF18G, UNEX Co, Nagoya, Japan) that used an automated edge detection system for measurement of brachial artery diameter
