Popis: | Aims & Objectives: To demonstrate, Angiodefender device, is comparable to “Brachial artery ultrasound imaging” (BAUI) in their abilities to quantify percentage flow mediated vasodilation (FMD) of the brachial artery. Methods: Study was conducted on 100 patients, flow mediated vasodilation was measured by BAUI as well as by the Angiodefender device and the results were compared. Results: The mean %FMD measured by the BAUI was found to be 7.46 ± 4.21 whereas mean %FMD measured by the Angiodefender was 8.24 ± 2.46, (p value 0.113). Positive correlation was found between both the tests with correlation coefficient of 0.65, p value < 0.0001 which is highly significant. Conclusion: Results obtained by both the methods were comparable there was no significant statistical difference. Positive correlation was highly significant between both the tests with correlation coefficient of 0.65. Keywords: Brachial artery ultrasound imaging, Angiodefender, Flow mediated vasodilation |
