Exploring the Dynamics of Ischemia and Reactive Hyperemia With Skeletal Muscle Blood Oxygen Level Dependent MRI in Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease, Age‐Matched Controls, and Young Healthy Subjects
Key Points
Ischemia impacts vascular function, influencing blood supply to skeletal muscle and leading to altered oxygen dynamics.
The analysis utilized blood oxygen level dependent MRI to assess these changes across varied subject groups.
Peripheral artery disease patients exhibited distinct reactive hyperemia responses compared to age-matched controls and healthy individuals.
Findings highlight potential diagnostic indicators for vascular health, necessitating further exploration in diverse populations.
