(a) Scattergram of the thenar tissue O₂ consumption rate (%/min) during a 3 min vascular occlusion technique and cardiac index (L/min/m², 𝑟=0.56, 𝑃<0.001, 𝑛=82) for pooled data. (b) Scattergram of the reperfusion rate (%/min), indicative of the endothelial function after cuff release following a 3 min vascular occlusion technique and cardiac index (L/min/m², 𝑟=0.58, 𝑃<0.001, 𝑛=82) for pooled data.
