So yesterday I had a Patient whom the Vascular Surgeon had Ordered an Lower extremity PVR and Segmental Pressures on with Digit pressures. The Patient was Not Diabetic and has no Atherosclerotic History. However the Patients Legs and Feet were both VERY COLD to the touch. He stated his legs are always like that. So I performed the Exam and while the PVR waveforms in the Ankle's and Toes were a bit Dampened bilaterally. The PressuresSeemed to be Within Normal Limits with exception of the Right Great toe, however his Toe was very short and difficult to get a good pressure on. Even the Dampened PVR waveforms show a Dicrotic notch. Just out of curiosity what else could cause someones feet to stay so cold?
