title: P31-NMR studies of muscle in patients with venous insufficiency.
abstract: Increased interest in venous insufficiency has generated investigators to look for new insights to the pathophysiology of this disease. Previous clinical experience has revealed a relationship between venous hypertension and muscle atrophy in this group of patients. Phosphorous nuclear magnetic resonance studies has been done on a group of venous insufficiency patients to discover the biochemical changes.
