Using Pedal Acceleration Time To Predict Ischemic Wound Healing In Diabetic Pat...
Silva, Eduardo; Iglésias, Joana; Lima, Pedro; Antunes, Luís F.; Fonseca, ManuelAim: Diabetes Mellitus is one of the main factors for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), while also being associated with medial arterial calcification, thus limiting the use of the ankle-brachial index. Pedal acceleration time (PAT), has emerged as a diagnostic alternative, by measuring the systolic acceleration in the arteries of the foot, with higher PAT values corresponding to a worse prognosis and with the...
Pedal Acceleration Time An Alternative Tool To Ankle-Brachial Index In Peripher...
Silva, Eduardo; Iglésias, Joana; Lima, Pedro; F. Antunes, Luís; Fonseca, ManuelIntroduction: Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is a well-established diagnostic tool for evaluating peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Limitations in its application led to the development of alternative diagnostic methods, including Toe-Brachial Index (TBI) and Transcutaneous Pressure of Oxygen (TcPO2), yet these are not as widely available as ABI. Recently, Pedal Acceleration Time (PAT), has gained popularity as a ...
