Box-whisker diagrams of the amplitude of pulsatile component (APC) of the photoplethysmographic waveforms and pulse arrival time (PAT) in the sample under study. (A) APC before and after heating. (B) Gain in APC due to heating. (C) PAT before and after heating. (D) Difference in PAT (ΔPAT) caused by heating. (E) The relative decrease in the slowly varying component (DC) of the photoplethysmographic waveform assessed after heating compared to the baseline.
