What are the normal ranges for flow-mediated dilatation?

08 October 2020 1 10K Report

I am using flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) to evaluate endothelial dysfunction in a group of patients. However, various articles cite different reference ranges for FMD, where any value ranging from 6-7.5% and above is considered normal.

Boris Schmitz

Dear Leanne,

there are no reference values for FMD available yet. This is due to differences in methods/ hardware and patients/ probands.

See

Article Expert consensus and evidence-based recommendations for the ...

for detail. However, there will be some reference values available soon.

Best regards

Boris
