Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Investigation of arterial hemodynamics

Investigation of arterial hemodynamics included peak systolic velocity \[PS\], end diastolic velocity \[ED\], mean velocity \[MV\], time-averaged maximum velocity \[TAmax\], time-averaged mean velocity \[TAmean\], pulsatility index \[PI\], volume flow \[VF\], and dorsalis pedis artery diameter \[D\].
