After determining these points, radial augmentation index, rAI = (Pi −PD /(PS −PD) can be computed.
In this paper, based on the radial pulse measurement using the developed sensor, we preliminarily start to investigate radial augmentation index rAI as well to correlate it into the cAI for determining the arterial stiffness.
Glyceryl trinitrate induced decreases in radial augmentation indexes were similar after both treatments (p = 0.15; Figure 2).
In contrast, the radial augmentation index decreased in hyperfiltering (1.2 ± 11.7 to −11.0 ± 7.8%) and normofiltering (14.3 ± 14.0 to 2.5 ± 14.6%) subjects (within-group changes, ANOVA P ≤ 0.030).
However, testosterone did not affect salbutamol-induced changes in radial augmentation indexes compared with placebo (p = 0.48; Figure 2), signifying no effect on endothelium-dependent responses.
The radial augmentation index (RaAIx) was calculated as follows: (second peak radial systolic pressure [SBP2] − diastolic pressure)/(first peak radial systolic pressure − diastolic pressure) ×100.

Later, Takazawa et al. [15] researched the radial (peripheral) pulse augmentation index (rAI) and found that rAI is the ratio of the height of late systolic pressure to the early systolic pressure.
Cherney and Sochett initially hypothesized that arterial stiffness measured by radial artery wave augmentation index (AIx) would increase with time; however, their data were in contrary.
TU decreased basal radial and aortic augmentation indexes (p = 0.03 and p = 0.02, respectively), indicating decreased arterial stiffness, but there was no effect on endothelial function.
One clinic application of the developed sensor is to determine the arterial stiffness based on the calculated augmentation index at radial.
15 We measured the augmentation index over the radial artery in the supine position, taking an average of two high quality recordings (quality index >90%).
