Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The aim of the study is to calculate the correlation between the measurement of endothelial function using Endo-PAT 2000, Flow Mediated Dilatation, Retinal Vessels Analyzer, Cardio Ankle Vascular Index and pulse wave velocity. The measurements are only carried out at one timepoint and are therefore compared at this point in time.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Correlation between the different methods to measure endothelial function in various cohorts investigated.
