Description
An endothelial function test assesses blood vessel health to help diagnose cardiovascular risk or unexplained hypertension, with reference costs of ¥200–500 in China; ChinaMedicalHub assists with hospital booking and interpreter support.
Main Uses
Assessment of cardiovascular risk, evaluation of treatment efficacy for conditions affecting vascular health, monitoring progression of atherosclerosis, and research into new therapies for improving endothelial function
Normal Range
The normal range for endothelial function, as measured by flow-mediated dilation (FMD), is typically above 5-10%. Reactive hyperemia index (RHI) in the EndoPAT test should be greater than 1.67 to indicate normal endothelial function.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and chronic kidney disease
High Values - Possible Causes
Regular physical activity, healthy diet, cessation of smoking, effective management of blood sugar levels in diabetics, and use of certain medications like statins or ACE inhibitors
