Trial Outcomes & Findings for Etanercept and Vascular Function in Psoriasis (NCT NCT01989689)

NCT ID: NCT01989689

Last Updated: 2014-12-19

Results Overview

Ultrasonography of the brachial artery performed at the bedside using a high-resolution 10-megahertz (MHz) ultrasound transducer before and after suprasystolic inflation of a blood pressure cuff for 5 minutes in the ipsilateral upper arm. Brachial artery FMD was calculated as (hyperemic diameter - baseline diameter)/baseline diameter × 100.

Ultrasonography of the brachial artery performed at the bedside using a high-resolution 10-megahertz (MHz) ultrasound transducer before and after suprasystolic inflation of a blood pressure cuff for 5 minutes in the ipsilateral upper arm. Brachial artery FMD was calculated as (hyperemic diameter - baseline diameter)/baseline diameter × 100.
