Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To prospectively detect significant transient F wave abnormalities obtained after exercise in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and to assess the potential diagnostic sensitivity of dynamic F wave study in such a context. PATIENTS AND METHODS:A series of 40 electrical stimuli were delivered to the peroneal and the posterior tibial nerves of 25 patients with PAD in order to obtain F waves at rest and post-exercise. The following variables were estimated and the obtained pre- and post-exercise data were compared: F persistence, F wave latency, amplitude, duration and F chronodispersion. For each nerve studied, the minimum, average and maximum values were calculated. Conventional electrophysiological data were also collected pre- and post-exercise and the data obtained were also compared. Twenty-five healthy age-, gender- and height-matched individuals served as controls. RESULTS:No evidence of conventional nerve conduction abnormalities was recorded either pre- or post-exercise in the group of patients. As regards the peroneal nerve, the significantly reduced F wave persistence (P = 0.007) and maximum F wave amplitude post- as opposed to pre-exercise (P = 0.05)- were the main findings to emerge. The average (P = 0.017) and the minimum duration (P = 0.005) of tibial F waves were also significantly increased post- compared with pre-exercise. Insignificant differences were observed between pre- and post-exercise neurophysiological and F wave values in the group of controls. CONCLUSION:Given the observed absence of conventional neurophysiological abnormalities, the detection of dynamic F wave changes supports the view of an increased diagnostic sensitivity of this method in patients with mild PAD.
