Recently, a circle friend sent a request for help
Saw such a statement on the Internet
The blood vessel is blocked or not
You can tell by touching the instep
Is this possible?
Does it make any sense?
Li Chunmin, Chief Physician of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University
The pulsation of the dorsalis pedis artery can reflect the vascular health to some extent.
This is due to the fact that the dorsalis pedis artery is relatively superficial and easy to touch, and the pulse energy of the distal blood vessels better reflects the narrowing and occlusion of the artery.
The intensity varies from person to person, some people are very pulsating, some people seem to have no pulses, and it is mainly related to natural differences or fat and thin feet.
But if a person's dorsalis pedis pulse changes, it could be a sign of a problem with the artery.
If the pulse of one dorsalis pedis artery is weakened and asymmetrical between left and right, it may be due to arteriosclerosis of the lower extremities.
If the dorsalis pedis arteries in both feet are getting weaker and weaker, it is necessary to be alert to atherosclerosis and stenosis of the blood vessels at relatively higher positions such as the common iliac artery.
Patients with diabetes mellitus are at high risk of vascular problems and should be concerned about dorsalis pedis pulses.
Note: Touching the instep of the foot can help us monitor the condition of the blood vessels to a certain extent, so as to prevent problems before they occur. However, these self-tests can only serve as a reminder at best, and the diagnosis of the disease requires a physical examination and more tests in the hospital.
