What is an arteriogram? Ans: arterial injection of contrast
to visualize areas of decreased arterial flow on an x-ray
What is Exercise Tolerance Testing? Ans: (stress test)
done with or without a treadmill with measurements of
pulse volumes and BP prior to an following the onset of
symptoms or 5 min of exercise. Delays in return to
normal pressures and pulse waveforms indicate arterial
disease. Used to evaluate claudication
What is Plethysmography? Ans: diagnostic test used to
determine the variations in blood passing through the
artery. A decrease in pulse pressure of the LE indicates a
possible blockage

ankle systolic by brachial systolic pulses
What are the normal ranges of ankle brachial index? Ans:
1.0-1.4
An ABI of 0.9-0.5 indicates what? Ans: peripheral arterial
disease
An ABI of <0.5 indicates what? Ans: severe peripheral
arterial disease
What is the primary prevention of vascular disease? Ans:
education on all modifiable measures
What is the secondary prevention of vascular disease?
Ans: screening and early diagnostics,

What are some collaborations relating to vascular
disease? Ans: nutrition, activity, exercise, surgical
interventions
What is an arterial disease? And how may it be cured?
Ans: problem with the blood flowing away from the heart
towards the feet ;
• Avoid trauma to feet
• use warm compress
• use NSAIDs
What are three examples of arterial diseases? Ans:
Peripheral Arterial disease (PAD)
arteriosclerosis
artherosclerosis
What is artherosclerosis? Ans: presence of plaque in
artery
What is arteriosclerosis? Ans: hardening of plaque in
artery
What is the objective data associated with arterial
disease? Ans: • burning, cramping, pain in legs
(intermittent claudication)
