Why the study?
Does treadmill exercise elicit different peripheral arterial responses in patients with atherosclerotic CAD compared to healthy subjects?
Does treadmill exercise elicit different peripheral arterial responses in patients with atherosclerotic CAD compared to healthy subjects?
Patients with atherosclerotic CAD frequently exhibit paradoxical peripheral arterial vasoconstriction during early phases of treadmill exercise, which is not observed in healthy subjects and may reflect generalized vascular pathology.
