A method of determining endothelial dependent vasoactivity of a subject,
the method is effected by recording pressure-related signals of a
plurality of locations adjacent to at least one blood vessel; extracting
at least one parameter from the pressure-related signals; and using the
at least one parameter to determine a change of at least one
characteristic of the at least one blood vessel, the change being
representative of endothelial functioning; thereby determining the
endothelial dependent vasoactivity of the subject.
