Endothelial Dysfunction of Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease Measured by Peripheral Arterial Tonometry
Objective. Endothelial dysfunction plays a key role in atherosclerotic disease. Several methods have been reported to be useful for evaluating the endothelial dysfunction, and we investigated the endothelial dysfunction in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) using peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) test in this study. Furthermore, we examined the factors significantly correlated wi...
متن کاملPrevalence 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 ...
متن کاملEndothelial dysfunction and peripheral arterial disease.
We read with interest the study of Loffredo et al. investigating the association of oxi-dative stress and endothelial function in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The authors demonstrated that flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) of the brachial artery was significantly lower in patients with PAD compared with controls, whereas 8-hydroxy-2-deoxy-2-deoxyguanosine (a marker of oxidati...
متن کاملSepsis-associated microvascular dysfunction measured by peripheral arterial tonometry: an observational study
INTRODUCTION Sepsis has a high mortality despite advances in management. Microcirculatory and endothelial dysfunction contribute to organ failure, and better tools are needed to assess microcirculatory responses to adjunctive therapies. We hypothesised that peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT), a novel user-independent measure of endothelium-dependent microvascular reactivity, would be impaired ...
متن کاملEndothelial function as measured by peripheral arterial tonometry increases during pubertal advancement.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Sex steroids, such as estrogens, are known to influence endothelial function by their vasodilator action. The aim of this study was to study the relation of puberty and sex steroids with endothelial function using peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT). METHODS In 89 healthy school boys and girls, we determined height, weight, waist circumference, percent body fat, BMI, BMI z-sco...
