ABC of arterial and venous disease. Non-invasive methods of arterial and venous assessment.
In the simplest form of ultrasonography, ultrasound is transmitted as a continuous beam from a probe that contains two piezoelectric crystals. The transmitting crystal produces ultrasound at a fixed frequency (set by the operator according to the depth of the vessel being examined), and the receiving crystal vibrates in response to reflected waves and produces an output voltage. Conventional B ...
متن کاملABC of arterial and venous disease. Ulcerated lower limb.
Venous disease, arterial disease, and neuropathy cause over 90% of lower limb ulcers. It is useful to divide leg ulcers into those occurring in the gaiter area and those occurring in the forefoot because the aetiologies in these two sites are different. At least two aetiological factors can be identified in one third of all lower limb ulcers. Venous ulcers most commonly occur above the medial o...

Acute stroke is now a treatable condition that deserves urgent specialist attention. Drug treatment and specialist care both influence survival and recovery. This article considers the optimal approaches to diagnosis and early management. Stroke, a sudden neurological deficit of presumed vascular origin, is a clinical syndrome rather than a single disease. It is a common and devastating conditi...
متن کاملABC of arterial and venous disease. Secondary prevention of transient ischaemic attack and stroke.
Stroke or transient ischaemic attack is common and likely to be fatal or cause serious disability. A second stroke will not necessarily be of the same type as the initial event, although haemorrhages tend to recur. Patients with previous stroke commonly succumb to other vascular events, in particular myocardial infarction. Effective secondary prevention depends on giving attention to all modifi...
متن کاملArterial and venous angiotensin
1. Angiotensin I1 together with any immunoreactive fragments of angiotensin were measured in arterial and venous plasma before and during infusion of angiotensin I1 amide in five normotensive subjects, both in sodium-replete and sodium-depleted states. Because the antibody used in the radioimmunoassay cross-reacted with larger angiotensin breakdown products and because these fragments are prese...
