Official title
Sensitivity and Specificity of the AHA Post-exercise ABI Criteria
Overview
The aim of this study was to evaluate exercise testing in case of patients suspected of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
Detailed description
This is a non interventional prospective cross sectional, monocentric study. All patients addressed in our vascular unit for exercise testing were included. All patients' data performed in clinical routine can be analyzed.
Interventions
- Other Data collected
Use the data collected during a usual consultation to study the relationship between different parameters (rest pressure ...) and imaging
Primary outcome measures
- 1-min Post-exercise Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) [Time frame: at 1 minute after the stop of walking]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- 3-min Post-exercise Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) [Time frame: at 3 minutes after the stop of walking]
- 5-min Post-exercise Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) [Time frame: at 5 minutes after the stop of walking]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- All patients addressed in our vascular unit for exercise limitation
Exclusion criteria
- Incapacity to walk on the treadmill.
- A severe cardiopathy contraindicating a stress test
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
