Vascular endothelium functional evaluation device and vascular endothelium functional evaluation manner

摘要

An apparatus for evaluating a vascular endothelial function includes: a cuff (11), to be wound around a part of a body of a subject; a cuff pressure controller (20), configured to control a pressure of the cuff, and configured to apply continuous pressure stimulation; a cuff pressure detector (31), configured to detect the pressure of the cuff from output of a pressure sensor (14) connected to the cuff; a pulse wave detector (32), configured to detect, from the output of the pressure sensor, pulse waves before and after the continuous pressure stimulation is applied; and an analyzer (33), configured to evaluate the vascular endothelial function by comparing the pulse waves detected before and after the continuous pressure stimulation is applied.
