Arteriopathy in the high-performance athlete
Pain occurs frequently in high-performance athletes and is most often due to musculoskeletal injury or strain. However, athletes who participate in sports that require highly frequent, repetitive limb motion can also experience pain from an underlying...

Simultaneous arterial pressure recordings improve the detection of endofibrosis
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...

Pedal Force Measurement for Diagnosing Iliac Artery Diseases in Endurance Athletes
Introduction: Endurance athletes, especially speed skaters and cyclists, may suffer from pain, early fatigue and a powerless feeling in the legs when cycling above specific exercise intensities. These complaints are associated with a disturbed balance...

The aim of this article is to report our experience in the diagnosis of two cases of iliac artery endofibrosis or arteriopathy, a rare entity occurring in high-performance athletes, presenting with intermittent claudication (right-sided in both) after...

Iliac Artery Syndrome: Successful Outcome After Endarterectomy and Vein Patch Angioplasty
Iliac artery syndrome has been described in competition cyclists or other endurance athletes who present with claudication during intense activity. It may be difficult to diagnose, as the patient's pulses and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) are...
