Global Vascular Effects of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression-Pilot Study
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Coronary Heart Disease
In brief
Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) of the lower extremities is a well-established technique for preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and for treating venous stasis. IPC will be done in the home for 3 divided hours every day for 4 weeks. Lab tests, brachial ultrasound and MRI testing will be performed at baseline and after 4 weeks of daily IPC therapy. See detailed description for increase in healthy control subjects.
