Mortality and morbidity in patients with intermittent claudication in relation to the location of the occlusive atherosclerosis in the leg.

abstract：:Because the literature comparing the effects of vasodilators on forearm and calf vessels is very scarce, the authors compared different vasodilators used in cardiovascular medicine in a group of volunteers. The peripheral effects were measured in the sitting position by plethysmography at the calf and at the forearm. ...
