P134 A COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF CONFOUNDING FACTORS AFFECTING FLOW MEDIATED DILATION: TOWARDS IMPROVED ENDOTHELIAL FUNCTION ASSESSMENT

Objective and motivation: Endothelial dysfunction is associated with cardiovascular diseases. Flow mediated dilation (FMD), assesses the endothelial function by measuring the brachial artery vasodilation following deflation of a sphygmomanometer cuff around the forearm. Vasodilation is assumed to be...
