Abstract:

Introduction: In recent years, peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT, a non-invasive and reproducible technique) has gained considerable interest. In this sense, arterial capacity to react to vasoactive stimulus (induced by reactive hyperemia) is known as vascular reactivity (VR). Objective: Post ischemic beat to beat VR characterization was performed based on PAT measurements. Methods: Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Augmentation index (AIx) variations were modeled, as a response to flow stimulus. Results: Obtained R2 values were around 70% for VR while, to a lesser degree, AIx fit was about 50% Conclusion: Beat to Beat VR was described in terms of SBP and AIx behavior. Further studies are needed to determine the clinical usefulness of the proposed indicators.
