In 2007 the IWDGF produced a consensus document on peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in diabetes. In recent years new techniques and technologies have been introduced in treating PAD, which might be relevant for the patient with diabetes and a poorly healing ischemic foot ulcer. The editorial board of International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWDGF) therefore established in 2009 a multi...
Atherosclerotic arterial occlusive disease affecting the lower extremities is also known as peripheral artery disease (PAD). This disorder affects 8 to 12 million individuals in the U.S. and is increasingly prevalent in Europe and Asia. Unfortunately, most patients are not diagnosed and are not optimally treated. A blood test for PAD, if sufficiently sensitive and specific, would be expected to...
BACKGROUND Although much is known about the management of peripheral arterial disease among adults in the general population, the management of this disease among those with diabetes, and the effects of diabetic-induced peripheral arterial disease on objectively-measured physical activity, is unclear. Here, we examined the association between accelerometer-assessed physical activity and periphe...
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...
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to determine gender differences in the risk factor profile and leg symptoms of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). METHODS We identified men and women with PAD from a cohort of patients within a primary care clinic setting. We screened patients 50 years of age and older. We diagnosed PAD based on an ankle-brachial index (ABI) level of less than 0.9; the ABI i...
Background: Peripheral arterial disease is a source of morbidity and mortality. Surgical vascular reconstruction is a treatment option but probability of failure and complications are important concerns. In this study, we evaluated outcome of surgical infrainguinal reconstruction and factors affecting graft patency for a period of one year. Methods: In this cohort study, 85 consecutive patie...
Broadly defined, peripheral vascular disease refers to disease of the extracardiac blood vessels, including diseases of the arteries, veins, and lymphatics. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) refers to disease affecting noncoronary arteries, but is most often used to describe disease of the arteries supplying the limbs. Peripheral arterial disease is most commonly due to atherosclerosis, but may...
The epidemiology of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is well described and related to age and, in particular, the risk factors of diabetes mellitus and smoking. Recent data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found a 5.9% prevalence in subjects 40 years of age resulting in an estimated prevalence of 7.2 million affected individuals in the United States.1 These subjects have...
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the prevalence of genetic and environmental vascular risk factors in non diabetic patients with premature peripheral arterial disease, either peripheral arterial occlusive disease or thromboangiitis obliterans, the two main entities of peripheral arterial disease, and to established whether some of them are specifically associated with one or another of ...
