Abstract
Doppler ultrasound flow velocities and pulsatility index were measured in the brachial artery of patients with heart failure before and afte r 3 minutes of arterial occlusion and compared with matched healthy co ntrols. Patients with heart failure had a reduced magnitude of postisc hemic hyperemic flow accompanied by a reduced duration of hyperemic fl ow.
