Characterization of lung-to-finger circulation time in sleep study assessment: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.
Lung-to-finger circulation time (LFCT) measured from sleep studies may reflect underlying cardiac dysfunction. We aimed to examine the distribution of LFCT in community-dwelling men and women in order to better understand the factors determining LFCT between and within subjects. ⋯ Automated LFCT measurement was highly correlated with visual-based LFCT measurement. In this group of community-dwelling adults, male sex and older age were associated with higher average LFCT.
