The physiological response of ankle systolic blood pressure and ankle to brachial index after maximal exercise in athletes is dependent on age

12 January 2007 The development of sports activities in the over forties has increased the number of middle-aged patients performing heavy-load exercise. The normal response of ankle systolic blood pressure (ASBP) and ankle to brachial index (ABI) to intense exercise...

Simultaneous arterial pressure recordings improve the detection of endofibrosis

01 November 2006 Purpose: Exercise improves the diagnostic performance of ankle-to-brachial index (ABI) in the detection of exercise-induced arterial endofibrosis (EIAE). Pressure values for all four limbs are required to calculate ABI, but rapid systemic pressure...
