Yu leg dɛn kin at we yu de waka? Lɛ wi lan bɔt di PVR tɛst (Pulse Volume Recording) .

Imajin se yu de go na di stoa ɔ yu jɔs de waka fɔ shɔt tɛm. Afta yu dɔn waka fɔ shɔt tɛm, yu kin fil shap pen na yu leg wantɛm wantɛm, lɛk se yu leg dɛn de go swɛ.

So, insay dis kayn tin, tide wi go tɔk bɔt wan rili simpul, tɛst we nɔ de mek yu fil pen we go ɛp yu dɔktɔ fɔ fɛn di rayt tin. Dat na di PVR tɛst.

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, wetin na Pulse Volume Recording (PVR)?

Pulse Volume Recording, ɔ PVR test fɔ shɔt, na tɛst we de sho aw blɔd de muv tru di blɔd vesel (arterie) na yu leg, if da blɔd de flɔ fayn, ɔ if blok de sɔmsay.

Di bɛst tin bɔt dis na dat na tɛst we nɔ de ambɔg pɔsin we nɔ gɛt ɛni pen, kɔt, ɔ nidul . Fɔ bi prɛsis, dɛn kin du am bay we dɛn de yuz ay-frikyuɛnsi sawnd wev, ɔ `(Ultrasound)` teknɔlɔji. So natin nɔ de fɔ wɔri bɔt. sכmtεm dεn kin kכl dis tεst bak `(puls volyum plethysmography)`.

Wetin mek dɔktɔ go tɛl yu fɔ du PVR tɛst?

Bɔku tɛm, dɔktɔ go tɛl yu fɔ du dis tɛst fɔ no if yu gɛt wan sik we dɛn kɔl Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) , ɔ fɔ no di stej we di sik de.

So wetin na dis PAD?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, PAD na di smɔl smɔl we di blɔd vesel dɛn (arteries) we de kɛr klin blɔd kɔmɔt na wi at to wi leg dɛn, de smɔl smɔl. Di men tin we kin mek dis apin na di atrɔsklerɔsis . dis min se as tεm de go, kכlestכl εn כda fεt tin dεm (plak) de kכlכp na di bכdi in wכl dεm, we de blכk di bכdi fכ fכlכ.

PVR Test kin:

• Fɛn roughly usay di blok de na di blɔd vesel dɛn na yu leg.
• No di say dɛn we blɔd de klɔt ɔ ɔda tin dɛn we de blok.
• Fɛn di rayt tin we kin mek yu leg pen we yu de waka.

Na PVR na di onli we fɔ no PAD?

Nɔ, PVR na jɔs wan pan di nɔ-invasive vaskul tɛst dɛn. Yu dɔktɔ kin tɛl yu fɔ du ɔda tɛst dɛn wit PVR. Mek wi tek wan luk pan dem.

Yu nid fɔ pripia bifo di PVR tɛst?

Natin nɔ de we spɛshal fɔ rɛdi fɔ. I rili simpul. Bɔt yu dɔktɔ go se:

• Yu fɔ avɔyd fɔ smok fɔ sɔm awa bifo yu du di tɛst, bikɔs if yu smok, dat kin mek yu blɔd vesel dɛn smɔl fɔ sɔm tɛm.

Wetin kin apin afta di tɛst? Ustɛm a go gɛt di ripɔt?

As di PVR tɛst dɔn so, yu kin go na os ɛn du ɔl di tin dɛn we yu kin du ɔltɛm.

Di tɛknishian we du di tɛst go wok wit dɔktɔ fɔ analayz yu rizɔlt. Dis kin tek ɛnisay frɔm sɔm awa to sɔm dez. So, aks yu dɔktɔ ustɛm yu go ebul fɔ ɛkspɛkt fɔ gɛt di ripɔt.

Wetin di PVR ripɔt se?

Yu dɔktɔ go mɔs kɔmpia di blɔd prɛshɔn na yu an ɛn yu leg .

• Nɔmal: Di blɔd prɛshɔn na pɔsin we gɛt wɛlbɔdi in leg fɔ di sem ɔ i fɔ ay smɔl pas di blɔd prɛshɔn na in an.

Kwɛstyɔn dɛn we yu fɔ aks di dɔktɔ

If di dɔktɔ se prɔblɛm de wit yu PVR ripɔt, nɔ fred, jɔs aks dɛn kwɛstyɔn ya klia wan.
