[Problem] To provide a finger arterial dilatability testing method, finger arterial dilatability testing device, and finger arterial dilatability testing program with which it is possible to simply test for early signs of arteriosclerosis using the small vessels of the finger arteries. [Solution] In the present invention, the following are provided: a pulse wave data storage step for storing the resting pulse wave data and the reperfusion pulse wave data after releasing occlusion at one forearm, for the arteries of each finger of both hands which are clamped using a predetermined sequence; an NPV calculation step for calculating, on the basis of the pulse wave data stored in the pulse wave data storage step, an NPV for each heartbeat, where the NPV is obtained by dividing the amplitude of the alternating current component of the pulse wave by the average direct current component value of each pulse wave; a pulse pressure data acquisition step for acquiring the pulse pressure which is obtained by subtracting the diastolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure; and an FCR ratio calculation step for calculating, on the basis of the pulse pressure acquired by the pulse pressure data acquisition step, for each heartbeat the index (FCR ratio) that shows the vasodilation reaction of the finger arteries.
