In the present study, indirect evaluation of this endothelial vasodilator function was performed non-invasively using post-occlusive reactive hyperemia peripheral arterial tonometry (RH-PAT) (EndoPAT 2000 device; Itamar Medical Ltd.) [9, 11, 12] as we have previously detailed [13]. RHI (normal is >1.67) was generated. Additionally, the augmentation index (AI) was calculated, and the result normalized to the heart rate of 75 beats per minute. Lower AI values reflect better arterial elasticity.
