Abstract
The technique of after-exercise thermography was described by Cooke and Pilcherl and by Henderson et al.2 They found that abnormal AET indicated a defective calf muscle pump and thus deep venous insufficiency. The available literature, however, contains no reports in which AET was evaluated against some objective method of diagnosing venous insufficiency. Our study was therefore designed for further investigation of AET in deep venous insufficiency assessed clinically and with venous pressure and plethysmographic measurements.
