DOI: 10.1007/s10916-018-0901-1
Abstract: Distortions in macro- and microcirculation are principal contributors to diabetes-associated complications. This study aimed at investigating the validity of applying non-invasive photoplethysmographic (PPG) waveform parameters in detecting diabetes-induced subtitle changes in arterial stiffness. Between July… read more here.
