Abstract
Data are presented from the Tecumseh Community Health Study, Tecumseh, Michigan, in which 88% of the population of an entire community were examined. A group with absent pedal pulse was identified, and the relationship of this group to physiological variables often cited as risk factors in coronary heart disease is presented. Evaluation of peripheral arteries may be a factor of prognostic significance in coronary and cerebral arterial disease.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
