title: [Evaluation of arterial insufficiency of the lower extremities according to oxygen transport values in the treadmill test].
abstract: The authors studied the possibility of evaluating peripheral arterial insufficiency according to the values of oxygen transport (consumption and oxygen debt) in the multistep treadmill test. Sixty patients with angiographically recognized affection of the vessels and 38 healthy individuals (controls) were examined. Both values were found to reflect the severity of arterial insufficiency of the lower limbs. The oxygen debt value was most informative in its evaluation. The degree of arterial insufficiency may be evaluated according to the level of the load in the treadmill test at the moment of inadequate oxygen debt occurrence.
