MO164NOVEL PARAMETERS TO ASSESS ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION BY PULSE WAVE ANALYSIS

Background and Aims Pulse wave morphology changes under the high flow condition of reactive hyperaemia. We hypothesized, that those alterations may be able to indicate endothelial dysfunction. Method We recorded digitized pulse waves measured tonometrically with the SphygmoCor® device of 64 persons, 41 kidney transplant recipients and 23 healthy individuals, under normal conditions (NC) and under reactive hyperaemia (RH). Using matlab®, we...
