Abstract
Normal rCIVD response in the LTL test indicates less-than-severe ischemia, while abnormal rCIVD response measured via the LTL test indicates severe ischemic symptoms, such as critical limb ischemia. Notably, patients with an abnormal rCIVD response can develop a normal rCIVD response following revascularization, thereby reflecting an improvement in blood flow. The LTL test assessing rCIVD response can be useful for detecting severe limb ischemia, such as critical limb ischemia (CLI), and determining the departure from severe limb ischemia by revascularization.
