Laplace transform analysis of arterial Doppler waveforms was examined for its potential in identifying subjects with early, pre-symptomatic arterial disease. Ninety men, aged 45 to 62, and with no history of cardiovascular disease, were selected from a population of 2300 involved in a longitudinal study of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Forty-nine were selected on the basis of high values of Laplace delta, omega o, or both, and 41 were selected with "normal" values. Three years after initial screening examination, each was examined clinically and by exercise testing for evidence of arterial disease, and the waveform recordings were repeated. In the group with high waveform analysis values initially, 11 of 49 (22%) were found to have signs of arterial disease 3 years later, while among those with lower values only 2 of 41 (5%) had evidence of disease (p less than 0.05). Although variability of results obviates their use in monitoring the progress of individual subjects, this study supports the potential of Doppler waveform analysis for identifying a group of subjects with a high incidence of early arterial disease.
