A comprehensive investigation of peripheral microvascular function in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) is presented. The rate of recovery following induced ischemia is monitored by dynamic acquisition with Perfusion, Intravascular Venous Oxygen saturation, and T2* (PIVOT). Analysis of the association between the ankle-brachial index (ABI), which is the clinical mainstay of PAD detection and diagnosis, and PIVOT-derived time-course metrics found significant correlations between ABI and time to peak perfusion and between ABI and time to peak T 2 *.
