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.
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
