<h4>Background</h4>Drug-eluting stents are replacing bare-metal stents, but in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a problem. Reactive hyperemia index (RHI) assessed by peripheral arterial tonometry evaluates endothelial function noninvasively. We prospectively assessed the prognostic value of RHI in predicting ISR after percutaneous coronary intervention.<h4>Methods and results</h4>RHI was measured before percutaneous coronary intervention and at follow-up (F/U) angiography (F/U RHI; 6 and 9 months ...[more]
