| Résumé | Several methods allow to measure arterial distensibilty. One of them consists in estimating the direct distensibility (D) from diameter and distending blood pressure. Herein, we propose a new method to assess the distensibility in small arteries which is based on spectral analysis of time motion mode ultrasound images of radial arteries. A Fourier transform was performed on intensity of upper and lower walls. Spectral amplitude at heart frequency from both wall spectra was estimated and summed (SumAmp). SumAmp was then compared with direct distensibility. A significant correlation was found between SumAmp and D (r = 0.7, p = 0.02). |
