This study deals with a method of performing ultrasonic Doppler measurements in patients with chronic arterial occlusions. Ankle systolic pressures distal to occlusions (as diagnosed by angiography) were sampled and the mean values calculated. Standard deviations of the method were validated. The ultrasonic Doppler method for measurement of systolic pressure is a valuable new tool for assessing peripheral arterial occlusions. Especially in geriatric patients, with their high rate of vascular problems and the lingering danger of heel necrosis in the course of longstanding immobility, this method supplies the attending physician with quantitative data as a basis for diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treatment.
本研究探讨了一种对慢性动脉闭塞患者进行超声多普勒测量的方法。对闭塞远端（经血管造影诊断）的踝部收缩压进行采样并计算平均值。验证了该方法的标准差。超声多普勒收缩压测量方法是评估外周动脉闭塞的一种有价值的新工具。特别是对于老年患者，他们血管问题发生率高，且长期不动会有足跟坏死的潜在危险，该方法为主治医师提供定量数据，作为诊断、预防和治疗的依据。
