title: Vascular reactivity in patients with peripheral vascular disease.
abstract: Noninvasive techniques have been used to demonstrate a specific pattern of impaired vasoactive response in the normal brachial artery of patients with clinical atherosclerosis. This is a physiologic reflection of the systemic nature of atherosclerosis and may be useful as a marker for identifying patients with preclinical atherosclerotic disease.
