Clinical Diagnosis
? Claudication versus Spinal Stenosis ? Ischemic Rest Pain versus Neuropathic Pain ? Location of foot lesions ?ischemic versus
neuropathic ? Absence of symptoms does not rule out
significant ischemia
Signs of PVD
? Pulse examination. Frequently inaccurate due to calcified vessels.
? Inflow versus outflow disease ? Autonomic neuropathy ? Dependent Rubor
Non Invasive Studies in PVD
? Many sophisticated tests available eg Ankle Brachial Indices, Segmental pulse volume recordings, Duplex ultrasound, Transcutaneous oxygen, Xenon flow studies.
? Most useful and cost effective is a hand held Doppler to assess wave form
