A pulse volume recording, or a PVR test, measures blood flow in your legs. It uses ultrasound (high-frequency sound waves) to evaluate circulation in your arteries. A PVR test is painless and noninvasive, so it doesn’t require any needles or cuts in your skin. It’s also called pulse volume plethysmography or a segmental pressure test.

BetaPulse volume recordings (PVR) are a non-invasive imaging test that evaluates the lower or upper extremity arterial flow. This test is actually the more complete form of ankle brachial index. This is because PVR’s test the pressure ratio along the limb and not just at the end. The pulse volume recording test is functional.

BetaA dicrotic notch is more common in normal exams of younger individuals, and an inflection point is more common in normal exams of older individuals. If a patient has a hemodynamically significant lesion or occlusion, all PVR waveforms distal to the culprit lesion will degrade ( Fig. 2).

BetaA PVR study is a noninvasive vascular test in which blood pressure cuffs and a hand-held ultrasound device (called a Doppler or transducer) are used to obtain information about arterial blood flow in the arms and legs. Noninvasive means the procedure does not require the use of needles, dyes, radiation or anesthesia. The blood pressure cuffs and Doppler are used to determine the presence ...

BetaCardiac output is a key concept in the study of PVR and reflects the volume of blood the heart pumps per minute. It is determined by two factors: stroke volume and heart rate. Stroke volume is the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle with each heartbeat, while heart rate is the number of times the heart beats in one minute.

BetaThe following article will discuss arterial Doppler, plethysmography, and pulse-volume recording (PVR). Given the safety, ease, and relative rapidity of the following exams, these assessments establish a baseline measurement trend over time. Based on these noninvasive findings, clinicians can pursue further studies and invasive procedures.

BetaA noninvasive test to evaluate blood flow in the arms and legs. Pulse volume recording (PVR) uses a blood pressure cuff and hand-held Doppler ultrasound device to determine the presence and severity of peripheral artery disease (PAD).The Doppler ultrasound records sound waves that bounce off moving objects, such as blood, to measure speed and flow.

BetaA PVR, also called plethysmography is, a noninvasive diagnostic tool that measures blood flow within the arteries, primarily, but not limited to, the legs to diagnose narrowing or obstruction in the vessel. The measurements obtained help locate where the blockage is within the artery, for example, the thigh or lower leg.

BetaPrevious studies show that PVR measurements have a sensitivity of approximately 85% when compared with angiography in detecting the presence of significant occlusive arterial lesions. The limitation of PVRs is that they do not give exact anatomical localization of vascular stenoses, nor do they characterize the degree of high-grade lesions.
