The importance of endothelial dysfunction in the development and clinical expression of cardiovascular disease is well recognized. Impaired endothelial function has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Endothelial function may be evaluated in humans by assessing vasodilation in response to stimuli known to induce the release of nitric oxide. A novel pulse amplitude tonometry device noninvasively measures vasodilator function in the microcirculation of the finger. This article reviews the recent studies that support the utility of digital pulse amplitude tonometry as a relevant test of peripheral endothelial function.
