From: Post-occlusion hyperemia ASL differentiates peripheral artery disease from controls
Box plot of composite and individual calf muscle group perfusion (A). Note how the DC flow in PAD patients is similar to AC flow in NL. While reactive hyperemia was notable in all compartments of NL subjects (B), it was limited to the DC in PAD patients (C). AC: anterior compartment; PC: posterior compartment; DC: deep compartment; ALL: average peak flow of all calf muscle compartments; NL: healthy volunteers; PAD: peripheral arterial disease patients.
