Reliability of the vascular claudication reporting in diabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease: A study with near-infrared spectroscopy

We evaluated whether altered reporting of ischemic symptoms occurs in diabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and stable claudication. Patients (n = 152) with claudication were enrolled (120 males; mean age: 71.0 ± 8.6 years): 74 …

A Dynamic Objective Evaluation of Peripheral Arterial Disease by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

Objectives: Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), suitable for dynamic measurements, is not routinely used for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). We propose a dynamic NIRS-based measurement to quantify variations in muscle metabolism in PAD. Method: …
