Optimal Level of Occlusion Cuff Pressure for Determining Brachial Artery Flow Medieted dilation in Healthy Adults
- Conditions
- Healthy adultsFlow-mediated dilation, occlusion cuff pressure, pain sensation, healthy adults
- Registration Number
- TCTR20230822004
- Lead Sponsor
- President schoarship Chiangmai university
- Brief Summary
The minimum occlusion pressure exceeded suprasystolic pressure by 25 mmHg which generated insignificant FMD response compared to the other two cuff pressures and caused minor pain, may be the most favorable pressure for determining FMD in healthy adults.
