... at heart level, and placed passively 50 cm below the heart. Blood flow was measured in two skin areas: (i) the dorsum of the foot, where arteriovenous anastomoses are absent, and (ii) the pulp of the big toe, where these anastomoses are relatively numerous. 4. It was found that within the physiological...

... in autonomic neuropathy could imply that spontaneous variability of anastomic flow is lost before increased arteriovenous shunting becomes apparent, but it could result from the indirect heating employed in the study causing vasodilatation in subjects without neuropathy. arteriovenous anastomoses autonomic...

When the foot was placed in the dependent position, skin blood flow recorded in the dorsum of the foot during indirect heating fell to a level similar to that achieved before heating. In contrast...
