Summary
A tilting procedure, that increases the leg blood flow after maximal ischaemic exercise by 65% in normal persons, was used in a series of long-term juvenile diabetics both with and without radiologically demonstrable linear calcification in the leg arteries. Using this procedure decreased blood flow capacity was demonstrable even before radiologically linear calcification had developed. The decrease in postischaemic leg blood flow, observable in recumbent long-term juvenile diabetics with linear arterial calcification was exaggerated by the tilting procedure.
