Home Blood Pressure and Vascular Endothelial Function in Mothers, Children and the Elderly: A women cohort and general cohort
Description: Vascular endothelial function was measured in 189 women (age 41.6 ± 4.6 years) with End pads and UNEX FMD with simultaneously measurement procedure. Reactive hyperemia index after natural logarithm conversion (LnRHI), Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and their correlation coefficient were 0.86 ± 0.24, 7.60 ± 1.63%, and the 0.047. A multiple regression analysis with LnRHI as the dependent variable and FMD, age, BMI, systolic blood pressure, and pulse as independent variables showed a positive association only with body mass index (standardized regression coefficient = 0.25, P = 0.0006). It was confirmed that RHI and FMD, which are indicators of vascular endothelial function, hoses different implication.
