Sentence examples for rh index from inspiring English sources

Digital PVA RH was calculated as the ratio of the average PVA over a one-minute time interval starting 1 min after cuff deflation (RH) divided by the average PVA measured for 1 min before cuff inflation (baseline) (RH index, RHI).

As SSNA is mainly involved in thermoregulation the RH-index would reflect skin vascular physiology rather than systemic hemodynamics.

In this study, SSNA was obtained in five out of ten subjects, but no clear relationship was found between this branch of the sympathetic nervous system and the RH-index.

According to a previous clinical study, 94 patients without obstructive coronary artery disease and with/without coronary microvascular endothelial dysfunction were examined using RH-PAT; the average RH-PAT index was lower in patients with coronary endothelial dysfunction than in those with normal coronary endothelial function (1.27 ± 0.05 vs 1.78 ± 0.08; P < 0.001) [ 7].

We have measured the RH-PAT index to detect endothelial function, and some patients could not be measured by the RH-PAT index automatically due to tachy-arrhythmias.

In an ascending dose study of intravenous l-arginine in 30 more patients with MSM, l-arginine increased the RH-PAT index by 19%9595% CI = 6-34; P = 0.006) and exhaled NO by 55%9595% CI = 32-73; P < 0.0001) without important side effects.

The RH-PAT index was recently shown to serve as a surrogate marker of endothelial dysfunction in children with type 1 diabetes [27].

In this study serum IGF-I was not significantly related to MSNA or the RH-PAT index and can therefore not explain the relationships observed.

The RH-PAT index values from the study arm are then normalized to the concurrent signal from the contralateral finger to correct for changes in systemic vascular tone.

Endothelial function was significantly more impaired in OHS patients than in UO patients (RH-PAT index: 0.22±0.06 versus 0.51±0.11 respectively, odds ratio = 0.02 [0.01–0.48) p = 0.03].
