The objective of the study is to define the analytical repeatability of quantifying
flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery using brachial artery ultrasound imaging using
upper arm cuff occlusion.

upper arm cuff occlusion.
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Men and women, ≥18 years old
2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group/Zubrod score performance status of 0, 1, or 2,
determined within 7 days prior to FMD testing on Study Day 1 (Visit 1)
3. Written informed consent understood and signed; understanding of study procedures and
ability to comply with them for the length of the study
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Body mass index (BMI) >50 kg/m2
2. Mid-upper arm circumference of arm selected for FMD testing <17 cm or >42 cm
3. Sinus arrhythmia (RR intervals vary by >50%), atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter,
multifocal atrial tachycardia, frequent (>1 per 10-sec strip) premature atrial or
ventricular contractions (isolated, non-isolated, or alternating), documented by
12-lead ECG with rhythm strip at the time of subject screening.
4. Clinical signs and/or symptoms of active viral or bacterial infections
5. Resting tremor or inability to remain still for the duration of the testing period
6. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) at rest of >170 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP)
at rest of ≥110 mmHg.
7. Diabetic subjects - Type I or II
8. Previous intolerable adverse reaction(s) to vascular testing using an upper extremity
occlusive pneumatic cuff
