Lower Limb Pulse Rise Time as a Marker of Peripheral Arterial Disease

Conclusion: Results show that a PRT greater than 240 ms indicates PAD-lesions in the lower limb. Significance: This proof-of-concept study suggests that the PRT could be an effective and easy-to-use indicator for PAD a- d monitoring the effectiveness of its treatment.
