| Controls | HFpEF | p Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline brachial artery diameter, mm | 4.43±0.14 | 4.61±0.18 | 0.44 |
| Peak brachial artery diameter, mm | 4.65±0.15 | 4.74±0.19 | 0.71 |
| Time to peak dilation, s | 61±5 | 78±6* | 0.03 |
| Cumulative shear rate at time of peak brachial artery dilation, /s | 69 018±9508 | 42 070±4018* | 0.01 |
Data are mean±SEM.
