Early detection of arteriosclerosis for lower limbs: A novel measuring method of vascular endothelial function for lower limbs using oscillometric method
Description: The purpose of this study is to produce of the simple measuring system of vascular endothelial function for lower limbs to detect initial arterioclerosis. We developed a novel measuring system of vascular endothelial function for lower limbs based on the oscillometric approach that measures cuff pressure and plethysmogram with a single air cuff. We demonstrated a measuring experiment of vascular endothelial function. The results indicated that the proposed system can estimate vascular endothelial function with high accuracy.
