Table 1.
Basic characteristics of the 37 IHD subjects.
Figure 1.
Examples of brachial artery vasomotion of a subject with high FMD (1) and low FMD (2).
HF component was enhanced in this subject with low FMD. Brachial artery diameter was continuously measured after cuff release during FMD measurement. FMD, flow-mediated dilation; DM, diabetes; VLF, very-low frequency; LF, low frequency; HF, high frequency.

Comparison of HRV and vasomotion in subjects with IHD.
Figure 2.
Scatter plot of the relationship between FMD or brachial artery diameter and the HF/TP power ratio of vasomotion in subjects with IHD.
FMD, flow-mediated dilation; HF, high frequency; TP, total spectral power; IHD, ischemic heart disease.
Table 3.
Correlative relationship between clinical parameters and each frequency in vasomotion.
Figure 3.
Comparison of each spectral component of vasomotion among subjects with high and low CPR level.
HF, high frequency; TP, total spectral power; VLF, very low frequency; LF, low frequency; CRP, C-reactive protein.
