Peripheral arterial disease and progression of coronary atherosclerosis.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this analysis was to characterize the progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with concomitant peripheral arterial disease (PAD). BACKGROUND Peripheral arterial disease is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The impact of concomitant PAD on coronary atherosclerosis progression in patients with coronary artery disease has not been well establi...
متن کاملlower extremity arterial calcification as a predictor of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with peripheral arterial disease
conclusion peripheral arterial calcification is significantly correlated with cad extent in patients with pad. peripheral arterial calcification can be a useful marker for predicting multivessel-cad. results lecs in multivessel-cad were significantly higher than those in nonsignificant cad (10.0 ± 5.8 versus 4.0 ± 3.1, p < 0.001). lecs significantly correlated with ccs (r = 0.831, p < 0.001) an...
متن کاملLower Extremity Arterial Calcification as a Predictor of Coronary Atherosclerosis in Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease
BACKGROUND Until now, there has been no study on the relationship between the calcification of the lower extremity arteries and significant coronary arterial disease (CAD). OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether lower extremity calcium scores (LECS) are associated with CAD and whether this can predict multivessel-CAD in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retros...
متن کاملThe effect of turbulence model on predicting the development and progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis
A severe case of stenosis in coronary arteries results in turbulence in the blood flow which may lead to the formation or progression of atherosclerosis. This study investigated the turbulent blood flow in a coronary artery with rigid walls, as well as 80% single and double stenoses on blood flow. A finite element-based software package, ADINA 8.8, was employed to model the blood flow. The hemo...
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 ...
