dc.description.abstract | Recent studies have investigated the detection of significant arterial stenoses through identification of the "pulsus tardus" phenomenon in Doppler waveforms obtained distal to the stenosis. The etiology of this phenomenon, however, has not yet been determined. Using an in vitro model based upon an electrical circuit analogy, the authors had as their objective to determine whether the compliance of the vessel wall immediately distal to a stenosis, in conjunction with the stenosis, is the cause of pulsus tardus. For a constant stenosis, it was found that the degree of pulsus tardus, as quantitated by the acceleration index, increased as the compliance of the poststenotic segment increased. It is concluded that pulsus tardus distal to an arterial stenosis is likely due to the compliance of the normally distensible artery, in conjunction with the stenosis. Pathological conditions that alter the compliance of the poststenotic segment may affect the degree of pulsus tardus, perhaps limiting its usefulness for upstream stenosis detection. | en_US |
