Conclusion: Results suggests that PTT response reflects the myogenic components in the early part of RH and PPG amplitude response reflects
the metabolic component reinforcing the later course of RH. PPG amplitude and PTT can be used to quantify the changes in diameter

to facilitate PPG technique for monitoring of vasodilation caused by RH.
