摘要：
A method for measuring reactive hyperemia in a subject is disclosed. Themethod includes performing a first segmentalcuff plethysmography to generate a baseline arterial compliance curve and/or abaseline pressure-area (P-A) curve, performinga second segmental cuff plethysmography to generate a hyperemic arterialcompliance curve and/or a hyperemic P-Acurve, and calculating an area between the baseline and the hyperemic curves.The size of the area can be used as an indication ofendothelial dysfunction (ED) and ED-related diseases.
