The Relationship between Abnormal Ankle-brachial Index and Micro-vascular Complications of Diabetes Type II
Background:The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide and the relationship between peripheral vascular involvement and the complications of diabetes disease, such as retinopathy, has been reported in some studies but has not yet been fully proven. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between diabetes complications and peripheral and central vascular involve...
متن کاملPrevalence of an abnormal ankle-brachial index in patients with primary antiphospholipid syndrome: preliminary data.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prevalence of abnormal ankle-brachial indexes (ABIs), their relationship with other cardiovascular risk factors and/or the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), and the clinical use of the ABI in patients with primary antiphospholipid syndrome (primary APS). METHODS An 8 MHz Doppler probe was used in the arms and legs to assess the ABI in 43 patients with p...
متن کاملPrevalence and associations of an abnormal ankle-brachial index in systemic lupus erythematosus: a pilot study.
BACKGROUND Accelerated atheroma is a well recognised complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Its aetiology is multifactorial and several methods may be used to detect early signs of atheroma. METHODS Patients aged </=55 years were screened using the ankle-brachial index (ABI). Ninety one patients aged </=55 years and fulfilling the revised American College of Rheumatology criteria...
متن کاملLow ankle-brachial index predicts cardiovascular risk after acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A low ankle-brachial blood pressure index (ABI) is an established risk marker for cardiovascular disease and mortality in the general population, but little is known about its prognostic value in individuals with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). METHODS An inception cohort of 204 patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA was followed up for a m...
متن کاملBrachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity, but not ankle‐brachial index, predicts all‐cause mortality in patients with diabetes after lower extremity amputation
We examined whether brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI) are predictors for mortality in diabetic patients after lower extremity amputation. This was an observational historical cohort study of 102 Japanese diabetic patients after first non-traumatic lower extremity amputation, with a mean age of 63 years (standard deviation 12 years). The end-point...
