Does an ultrasound time-motion technique detect differences in femoral artery diameter and pulsatile oscillations between long-term diabetics and non-diabetics?
This study demonstrates that a non-invasive ultrasound time-motion technique can detect reduced arterial lumen and decreased pulse deflections in long-term diabetics compared to healthy controls.
Christensen et al. (1984) studied this question.
