Lower extremity manifestations of peripheral artery disease: the pathophysiologic and functional implications of leg ischemia.
Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is frequently underdiagnosed, in part because of the wide variety of leg symptoms manifested by patients with PAD and in part because of the high prevalence of asymptomatic PAD. In primary care medical practices, 30% to 60% of patients with PAD report no exertional leg symptoms and ≈45% to 50% report exertional leg symptoms that are not consistent...
متن کاملPeripheral artery disease, diabetes, and reduced lower extremity functioning.
OBJECTIVE To characterize lower extremity function and dysfunction in peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients with and without diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 460 men and women with PAD (147 with diabetes) were recruited from three academic medical centers. Assessments included ankle brachial index (ABI), neuropathy score, 6-min walk distance, 4-m walking...
متن کاملLower extremity amputation in peripheral artery disease: improving patient outcomes
Peripheral artery disease affects over eight million Americans and is associated with an increased risk of mortality, cardiovascular disease, functional limitation, and limb loss. In its most severe form, critical limb ischemia, patients are often treated with lower extremity (LE) amputation (LEA), although the overall incidence of LEA is declining. In the US, there is significant geographic va...
متن کاملLower Extremity Peripheral Arterial Disease
Eight to 12 million people in United States have PAD (Allison et al. 2007). Only ~10% of patients with PAD have classic intermittent claudication (IC), ~50% have atypical leg symptoms and ~40% are asymptomatic (Hiatt 2001). Its prevalence significantly increases with age; 12 – 20% of those above the age of 65 years suffer from PAD (Ostchega al. 2007). The prevalence of PAD is similar in men and...
متن کاملThe role of atherectomy in the treatment of lower extremity peripheral artery disease
BACKGROUND The incidence of lower extremity peripheral artery disease (LE-PAD) continues to increase and associated morbidity remains high. Despite the significant development of percutaneous revascularization strategies, over the past decade, LE-PAD still represents a unique challenge for interventional cardiologists and vascular surgeons. METHOD Typical features of atherosclerosis that affe...
