This study is looking for adults, aged 19 and older, with or without Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a condition where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs. The main goal is to see if a special device that measures "segmental pulse arrival times" in your arms and legs can help detect PAD. Researchers will also look at how skin heating and foot elevation might affect these measurements, and how age plays a role. You cannot join if you have had an aortic aneurysm, previous leg or aorta surgeries, walking problems not due to PAD, or foot/toe gangrene or ulcers. The study aims to see if this new measurement can predict PAD as well as current methods like the ankle-brachial index and a 6-minute walking test.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 60 participants. It is not specified if the study is randomized or blinded.

What's involved

You would have a single visit to the laboratory. During this visit, researchers will take measurements like your height, weight, body composition, and assess your pulse arrival times.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Measurements for the primary endpoints (segmental pulse arrival times, ankle-brachial index, and 6-minute walking distance) are all taken on Day 1, suggesting no long-term follow-up after this single visit.
