Vascular Reactivity Assessment by the AngioDefender Device -- A Precision Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to define the repeatability and reproducibility of quantifying flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery (BA) using the AngioDefender (AD) methodology.
Repeatability will be assessed by repeat AD testing of the same subject 1 hour apart, using the same AD device and operator.
Reproducibility will be assessed by comparing FMD scores obtained for the same subject, but using different AD devices and operators.

Experimental: AngioDefender The AngioDefender device uses a novel, proprietary software algorithm to analyze pulse wave amplitude data collected before and after brachial artery occlusion by a standard upper arm pneumatic blood pressure cuff. The procedure is non-invasive and does not employ ultrasound. |
Device: AngioDefender
Repeatability will be assessed by repeat AngioDefender (AD) testing of the same subject 1 hour apart, using the same AD device and operator.
Reproducibility will be assessed by comparing FMD scores obtained for the same subject, but using different AD devices and operators.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change from baseline %flow-mediation dilation (%FMD) at 1 hour [Daily x 4 consecutive days]
Repeat AD testing of the same subject 1 hour apart on 4 consecutive days (operators and/or AD devices change each day)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Reproducibility of multiple %FMD determinations by AngioDefender [Daily x 4 consecutive days]
Repeat AD testing of the same subject over 4 consecutive days using different operators and/or AD devices each day
- Incidence of emergent adverse device effects (ADEs) according to CTCAE v4.03 [4 consecutive days (maximum 5 days)]
Spontaneous ADEs reported by the subject and inquiry into emergence of expected/unexpected ADEs
