Reproducibility and agreement of different non-invasive methods of endothelial function assessment

In conclusion, the LTH plateau response is for two-third NO-dependent, but unrelated to FMD. Furthermore, despite easy to perform the LTH responses are not more reproducible than FMD. Given the weak associations, the different methods of vascular function assessment are not interchangeable.
