| Mean V (µm/s) | Median V (µm/s) | Mean D (µm) | Median D (µm) | Relative change D % | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N1 | 5.5 ± 0.9 | 5.6 ± 0.8 | 33.8 ± 0.2 | 33.8 ± 0.2 | 10.0 ± 3.0 |
| N2 | 3.6 ± 1.0 | 3.9 ± 0.8 | 39.0 ± 2.3 | 39.0 ± 2.3 | 6.0 ± 2.0 |
| N3 | 3.0 ± 0.3 | 3.1 ± 0.2 | 21.1 ± 0.3 | 21.1 ± 0.3 | Not pulsatile |
| N4 | 0.9 ± 0.8 | 0.5 ± 0.5 | 29.2 ± 2.8 | 29.1 ± 2.8 | Not pulsatile |
| N5 | 3.9 ± 0.5 | 4.0 ± 0.4 | 20.6 ± 7.4 | 20.7 ± 7.4 | 1.0 ± 1.0 |
Mean and median blood velocity (V) and diameter (D) values. Diameter oscillations are given as percentage of diameter. All values are expressed as mean ± SEM, derived from multiple recordings of each single vessel. Two out of five vessels did not show pulsatility.
