Figure 5. The relationship between baseline forearm skin temperature and the forearm blood flow response to vasodilators.

Figure 5

A, Baseline forearm skin temperature measured before the start of the ACh infusion was inversely correlated with the area under the curve (AUC) of the thermal response to ACh; however, B, baseline forearm blood flow was not correlated with the AUC of the blood flow response to ACh. C, Baseline forearm skin temperature was not correlated with the AUC of the blood flow response to ACh. D, Baseline forearm skin temperature measured before the start of the SNP infusion was inversely correlated with the AUC of the thermal response to ACh. E, Baseline forearm blood flow was also inversely correlated with the blood flow response to SNP. F, Baseline forearm skin temperature was inversely correlated with the blood flow response to SNP. The r-statistic and p-value are coincidentally the same in Figures E, F.
