Ankle-brachial Index, Peripheral Arterial Disease, and Diabetic Retinopathy
We read with interest the article by Yun et al. [1], who reported that the frequency of diabetic retinopathy was associated with the presence of arterial stiffness as measured by the brachial ankle pulse wave velocity, but not with common carotid artery intima-media thickness, carotid plaque, or peripheral arterial disease (PAD), in a Korean sample of type 2 diabetic patients. They suggested th...
متن کاملAnkle-brachial index and peripheral arterial disease.
Patients with peripheral arterial disease including those with intermittent claudication have a high risk for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. The outcome of patients with intermittent claudication is less limited by local complications in the leg than by the systemic complications of coronary and cerebral vessels. About 30 % of these patients will die within 5 years,...
متن کاملEvaluation of Asymptomatic Peripheral Arterial Disease by Ankle- Brachial Index in Patients with Concomitant Coronary Arterial Disease
BACKGROUND Peripheral arterial disease is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. As such, it is found that screening for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) improves risk assessment. Thus, intensive risk factor modification and medical treatment in these patients are necessary. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic peripheral arterial dis...
متن کاملAnkle Brachial Pressure Index: as a Predictor of Peripheral Arterial Disease in Diabetic & Non Diabetic Subjects
Background: Peripheral arterial disease is known to be associated with the diabetes and ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) can be used to screen such patients having PAD. Aims & Objective: To highlight the application of ankle brachial pressure index as a routine procedure and to assess the feasibility of using ABPI in detecting PAD in the patients of diabetes mellitus. Material and Methods: ...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of Ankle Brachial Index for Myocardial Ischemia in Asymptomatic Diabetic Patients and Comparison with Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
Objective: The ankle-brachial index (ABI) as a simple test which can detect peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Therefore in this study we try to evaluate the diagnostic value of ABI for silent myocardial ischemia in diabetic patients and compare the results with myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) results. Materials and Methods: All 149 diabetic patients in this study were categorized according...
