Figure 1

Reproducibility of flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in the common femoral artery (FA) with occlusion of the thigh and calf and brachial artery (BA). (A–E): Study 1 with consecutive measurement of FA-FMD (thigh), BA-FMD, FA-FMD (thigh), BA-FMD and FA-FMD (calf) in n = 10 healthy individuals (Table 1A). Acceptability is summarised in Figure 2. E: values are based on average of two measurements for BA-FMD and FA-FMD (thigh) for each individual shown in panel A&B and single value measured for FA-FMD (calf, individual points not shown). * p < 0.05 based on repeated-measurements ANOVA. (F–J): Study 2 with measurement of BA-FMD and FA-FMD (calf) in n = 10 healthy individuals (Table 1B). J: values are based on average of 2 measurements for BA-FMD and FA-FMD (thigh) for each individual shown in panel F&G. * p < 0.05 based on paired t-test. A, B, F, G: Individual datapoints of n = 10 (grey lines) together with mean and SD. C, D, H, I: Bland–Altman plots based on values shown in A, B, F, and G, respectively. Dotted lines are average deviation (AD) of two measurements and 1.96 standard deviation (SD) above or below AD.
