AngioDefender Versus Brachial Artery Ultrasound Imaging
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the investigational device, AngioDefender, is comparable to the established procedure referred to as 'brachial artery ultrasound imaging' in their abilities to quantify flow-mediated vasodilation of the brachial artery.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: AngioDefender The AngioDefender device uses a novel, proprietary software algorithm to analyze pulse wave amplitude data collected before and after BA occlusion by a standard upper arm sphygmomanometric blood pressure (BP) cuff. The procedure is non-invasive and employs neither ultrasound nor Doppler flow analysis. |
Device: AngioDefender
|
Active Comparator: Brachial Artery Ultrasound Imaging A non-invasive procedure for detecting endothelial dysfunction by measuring the flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery (BA) using high resolution continuous ECG-gated B-mode (2D) ultrasound imaging during reactive hyperemia, a state of transient increase in tissue blood flow that occurs following a brief period of ischemia, e.g., BA occlusion. BA diameter is measured at end-diastole, coincident with the R wave of a simultaneously recorded ECG. |
Device: Ultrasound
