Ultrasonic Perfusion Estimation in Cuff Muscle
Peripheral Arterial Disease
About this trial
This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Peripheral Arterial Disease focused on measuring Blood flow, Blood Vessel, Ischemia, Cuff muscle, Vascular, Ultrasound, Intermitant claudication, Cramp
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male and female volunteers > 18 years old.
- Male and female volunteers with symptom of claudication and suspected peripheral arterial disease (PAD) who are scheduled for vascular testing.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with gangrene.
- Patients with lower leg amputation.
- Having ulcer and any health condition that does not allow proper use of ultrasound scanning.
- People considered in "vulnerable" populations.
Sites / Locations
- Mayo Clinic in Rochester
Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Other
Early detection of PAD, assessment of the disease progression and treatment response
The objective of this arm of the study is to evaluate the potentials of Ultrasound Perfusion imaging technique for early detection of peripheral arterial disease in patients and assess the disease progression and monitor the treatment response. The investigators anticipate that our new cost-effective and non-invasive ultrasound perfusion technique offers a quantitative imaging of perfusion and microvessels of cuff muscle that would separate PAD from non-PAD and help early detection of PAD and would help monitoring the disease progression and treatment response.
