Blood flow velocities measured conventional and reversed cuff.

Mean, peak and diastolic blood flow velocities in cm/s, measured by Doppler ultrasound, with the cuff in the conventional and reversed orientation. Velocity was measured at the upstream (“LC-U”) and downstream (“LC-D”) ends of the cuff in the left carotid, and in the uncuffed right carotid (“RC”). Values are averages for ten cardiac cycles. Blood flow velocities measured conventional and reversed cuff.
