Exercise oximetry in clinical practice: A single‐centre perspective on procedure and techniques
Abstract In moderate lower extremity artery disease (LEAD), when tissue ischaemia due to impaired inflow occurs at exercise but not during rest, exercise oximetry may be evaluated as a part of the diagnosis process. Initially used when assessing critical limb ischaemia at rest, transcutaneous oximetry (TcpO2) has also been used in the last two decades ...
