Changes in FMD of the unilateral upper extremity HVEI compared with the contralateral uninjured arm in six patients. The six week follow-up FMD was significantly improved in the HVEI arm compared with the initial FMD (1.8% ± 0.6% versus 4.4% ± 1.6%, P < 0.01). However, in the contralateral uninjured arm, there was no difference between FMDs in the initial study and at the six week follow-up (5.5% ± 1.4% versus 6.9% ± 2.2%, P = 0.26). In addition, the six week follow-up FMD of the contralateral injured arm was significantly lower than the matched control (6.9% ± 2.2% versus 13.6% ± 4.4%, P < 0.01).*P < 0.01 versus baseline; FMD, flow-mediated dilation; HVEI, high-voltage electrical injury.
