Low pulse‐wave amplitude during reactive leg hyperaemia: an independent, early marker for ischaemic heart disease and death Results from the 21‐year follow‐up of the prospective cohort study ‘Men born in 1914’, Malmö, Sweden

Abstract. Objective. To study the incidence of myocardial infarction, all‐cause mortality and mortality from ischaemic heart disease in relation to arterial leg blood flow determined by venous occlusion plethysmography of the calf.
