Course Description: | Provides an in-depth study of peripheral arterial disease and non-invasive evaluation of it. The student will learn how to perform B-mode and Doppler evaluation of the upper and lower extremities. The student will also learn how to perform pulsed volume recording, segmental blood pressures and plethysmography. Pathological and pathophysiologic states will be described. The course will review pertinent techniques for patient assessment, obtaining patient histories, evaluating and correlating patient symptoms with diagnostic findings. The student will be introduced to correlating information with other diagnostic procedures. Surgical and non-surgical corrective techniques will be discussed.
