Determinants of Functional Capacity in Peripheral Arterial Disease

Determinants of functional capacity in peripheral arterial disease.

Prevalence of Peripheral Arterial Disease in Diabetic Patients

Objective: Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a state characterized by atherosclerotic occlusive disease of lower extremities. Diabetes is the main risk factor for PAD. Material and Methods: To assess the prevalence of PAD, a cross sectional study was performed on 352 diabetic patients who referred to Yazd diabetes research center from 2007 to 2010. Vascular assessment was done by measuring ...

Predictors of walking capacity in peripheral arterial disease patients

OBJECTIVE To estimate walking capacity in intermittent claudication patients through a prediction model based on clinical characteristics and the walking impairment questionnaire. METHODS The sample included 133 intermittent claudication patients of both genders aged between 30 and 80 years. Data regarding clinical characteristics, the walking impairment questionnaire and treadmill walking te...

41 . Peripheral arterial disease

Peripheral arterial disease (intermittent claudication) is typically age-dependent and is not uncommon after the age of about 65 years. Exercise training in peripheral arterial disease leads to an increased walking distance and reduced pain, and likely also a slowed progression of the disease process itself. For optimal effect, the exercise should be carried out as walk training, preferably int...
