Effects of 7 days of passive heating on femoral artery hemodynamics in subjects with type 2 diabetes
| Before | After 7 Days of Heating | P Value | n | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline diameter, cm | 0.65 ± 0.03 | 0.65 ± 0.03 | 0.48 | 15 |
| Peak diameter, cm | 0.66 ± 0.03 | 0.67 ± 0.03 | 0.55 | |
| Time-to-peak diameter, s | 97.2 ± 9.5 | 101 ± 12.7 | 0.84 | |
| Hyperemic shear rate, s−1 AUC | 9,215 ± 856 | 9,161 ± 973 | 0.95 | |
| FMD, % | 2.04 ± 0.3 | 2.67 ± 0.4 | 0.17 |
Data are presented as means ± SE. Sample sizes are presented as n. Significant P values are in bold. AUC, area under the curve; FMD, flow-mediated dilation; T2D, type 2 diabetes.
