"Through this technique we measure the blood pressure in the legs, which helps to indicate the state of blood circulation. It examines in which part of the body the arteries are blocked and blood circulation is not taking place properly.

"We send electromagnetic pulses through the veins which clears the blockages," Yadav told IANS.

He said the blood pressure in the leg should normally be 20 to 40 percent higher than the pressure in the arms. If this pressure, called the Ankle Brachial Pressure Ind
