Ankle Pulse Significance of absent Ankle Pulse
The inability to detect the pulsation of the posterior tibial artery behind the internal malleolus, or of the dorsalis pedis artery, is widely used as an important physical sign. In the patient with symptoms or signs of ischaemia of the foot, the absence of pulses is regarded as highly significant. On the other hand, the incidental discovery of an impalpable ankle pulse in a patient who does no...
متن کاملThe significance of an absent ankle reflex.
We assessed the prevalence of abnormal ankle reflexes in 1074 adult patients attending orthopaedic clinics and related it to age. Those with possible pathological causes of reflex loss were excluded. The absence of one or both reflexes was significantly related to increasing age; all patients under 30 years had both reflexes. Few had absent reflexes between 30 and 40 years, but over 40 years, t...
متن کاملThe Significance of an Absent Radial Pulse in Supracondylar Fracture of the Humerus
I HE correct method of treatment of a supracondylar fracture of the humerus with no palpable radial pulse still presents a problem. There is obviously still some doubt as to whether the absent radial pulse should give rise to any alarm, provided the hand is a reasonable colour, and the circulation in it seems to be quite satisfactory. The author feels that it should, and it is the purpose of th...
متن کاملValidity, reproducibility, and clinical significance of noninvasive brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity measurement.
The present study was conducted to evaluate the validity and reproducibility of noninvasive brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) measurements and to examine the alteration of baPWV in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Simultaneous recordings of baPWV by a simple, noninvasive method and aortic pulse wave velosity (PWV) using a catheter tip with pressure manometer were performed ...
متن کاملAgeing and ankle pulse pressure.
BACKGROUND Pulse pressure (PP) is a marker of arterial stiffness. Ageing of the arterial system is accompanied by atherosclerosis of coronary arteries and atherosclerosis of popliteal artery. However, severe impairment of the brachial artery is rare. This study investigates whether there is any significant inter-limb (brachial/ankle) PP difference. METHODS Blood pressure was measured in a gro...
