Figure 1 Representative example of ultrasound images of brachial artery at rest (left) and 60 s after cuff release (right). The diameter of the artery increased from 3.22 mm (rest) to 3.48 mm (after cuff release) in response to increased blood flow. In this case, the percentage of flow-mediated dilation was 8.1%.
