What this trial measures
- Change in the EndoScore or reactive hyperemia ratio, an index of peripheral endothelial function, as assessed by the FDA-approved EndoPAT 20002 times, once at each of 2 study visits ~1 year apart
Endothelium-mediated changes in vascular tone will be represented by the EndoScore or ratio of Reactive Hyperemia pre-occlusion to post-occlusion of the brachial artery (via blood pressure cuff). A score \> 1.67 is considered "normal" and a score \<= 1.67 is "abnormal". The EndoPAT 2000 machine will be used for this measure, which is the only non-invasive method of measuring endothelial function or the state of arterial health. Well-functioning arteries protect blood vessels from hardening (or atherosclerosis) and plaque build up. The EndoScore score will be the primary measure for cardiovascular (CV) disease risk, as actual CV event rates will be too low for many years
