A new non-invasive ultrasonic method for simultaneous measurements of longitudinal and radial arterial wall movements: first in vivo trial.

abstract：:It has been frequently argued that haemodynamic limitations are poor predictors of exercise performance in people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and intermittent claudication. This review has tried to address this argument through a review of published data that appears to support or counterbalance it, brief c...
