MRI of Arterial Flow Reserve in Patients with Intermittent Claudication: Feasibility and Initial Experience
OBJECTIVES The aim of this work was to develop a MRI method to determine arterial flow reserve in patients with intermittent claudication and to investigate whether this method can discriminate between patients and healthy control subjects. METHODS Ten consecutive patients with intermittent claudication and 10 healthy control subjects were included. All subjects underwent vector cardiography ...
متن کاملPatients with Intermittent Claudication
Increased blood viscosity has been shown to be an important factor in reducing blood flow in a review and analysis of the history, clinical findings, and haemodynamic, rheological, radiological, and biochemical measurements in 126 patients with intermittent claudication. In some patients increased viscosity seemed to be the determining cause of claudication. A raised plasma fibrinogen was the m...
متن کاملFeasibility and validity of self-reported walking capacity in patients with intermittent claudication.
OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this study was to assess if self-reported measures of walking limitation correlate better with a community-based assessment of maximum walking distance (MWD) than they do with laboratory-based tests in patients with intermittent claudication. A secondary aim was to examine the effect of prior objective testing on these correlations. METHODS Thirty-one patients com...
متن کاملManagement of patients with intermittent claudication.
Intermittent claudication is a common manifestation of peripheral arterial disease, its symptoms have a gradual onset and the patient may not notice them initially, instead accepting them as part of the ageing process. The main concern with intermittent claudication is the increased risk of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events. This article highlights the relationship between these diseases...
