An objective technique for the evaluation of the peripheral circulation has been described. The method has a degree of sensitivity and specificity which is adequate for routine analysis of therapeutic measures influencing arteriosclerosis and for the preliminary investigation into the factors which define the arteriosclerotic peripheral vascular disease prone individual. Factors which correlate best with peripheral arteriosclerosis are excessive smoking, high blood sugars, high blood cholesterols, calcium deposition in the aorta, and high systolic blood pressures. Diastolic pressures and body weight correlated poorly.
