Trial Outcomes & Findings for Thromboxane Receptor Antagonist to Improve Endothelial Function (NCT NCT03962855)

NCT ID: NCT03962855

Last Updated: 2024-12-05

Results Overview

The change in Reactive Hyperemia Peripheral Index (RHI) as measured by Arterial Tonometry. The Reactive Hyperemia Index (RHI) is calculated as the ratio of post- to pre-occlusion peripheral arterial tone signals on the occluded side, normalized to the control side, and further adjusted for baseline vascular tone. RHI is automatically measured by the EndoPAT 2000 software. According to the manufacturer, an RHI value greater than 1.67 is considered normal, while a lower value indicates endothelial dysfunction and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events.
