Abstract
A method suitable for assessing the vascular condition of a subject is disclosed. The method comprises: measuring the transit time TT.sub.1 of a blood wavefront from the subject's heart to a distal point in a limb of the subject, and measuring the transit time TT.sub.2 of a blood wavefront from an intermediate point in the limb of the subject to the distal point of the subject's limb. The method further comprises computing the ratio TT.sub.2/TT.sub.1 and determining the likelihood that a small vessel disease condition exists when the ratio TT.sub.2/TT.sub.1 is above a preselected threshold.
