Sympathetic Vasomotor Response of the Radial Artery in Patients With Diabetic Foot Syndrome

2003

OBJECTIVE—Neurophysiological assessment of the peripheral autonomic system is characterized by various limitations. An alternative approach to laser Doppler and venous plethymography is the assessment of the sympathetic vasomotor response of the radial artery obtained by continuous wave Doppler sonography. Nomogram data have been established and demonstrate the temporary disappearance of diastolic flow after coughing or deep inspiration. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—We assessed the sympathetic vasomotor response in 25 patients (mean age 64 years, range 43–76) with diabetic foot syndrome. The Doppler data were correlated with nerve conduction studies of the median and peroneal nerve, the exte…

Volume flow in the common carotid artery does not decrease postprandially.

2003

Background and Purpose. A commonplace explanation for postprandial fatigue is the assumption of the redistribution of perfusion from the cerebral to the mesenterial territory. However, this assumption has never been scientifically proven. Methods. Because approximately 70% of the blood flow in the common carotid artery (CCA) is directed to the internal carotid artery, this vessel can be seen as a major brain-supplying artery. Flow volume in the CCA can be measured by color M-mode duplex sonography. The authors investigated the flow volume rate in 20 healthy volunteers before and after the intake of a high-energy meal. Heart rate, blood pressure, and expiratory CO2 were also measured at both…
