Postprandial decrease in vascular resistance correlated with change in second derivative of finger plethysmogram in young subjects.

CONCLUSIONS: Change in d/a is considered to be an index of change in TPR. TPR is considered to be decreased by agents for treatment of hypertension, and meal ingestion does not appear to further decrease TPR. These results are considered to be useful for understanding cardiodynamics surrounding meal ingestion. PMID: 25537057 [PubMed - in process]
