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...

Pressure measurements at rest and after heavy exercise to detect moderate arterial lesions in athletes

01 april 2001 Purpose: This study defined how ankle arterial blood pressure measurements should be analyzed for the detection of moderate arterial disease (asymptomatic while walking). We used external iliac artery endofibrosis as a unique model of an isolated...

External Iliac Artery Endofibrosis in a Young Cyclist

03 augustus 1999 An 18-year-old cyclist was referred to the laboratory for unexplained pain in his left lower limb during exercise. He had started competition at 14 years of age and had cycled ≈10 000 km/y in the preceding 5 years. He had complained for 18 months of a...
