Ankle-brachial index and subclinical cardiac and carotid disease: the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis.
The authors studied associations between ankle-brachial index (ABI) and subclinical atherosclerosis in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. Participants included 3,458 women (average age = 62.6 years) and 3,112 men (average age = 62.8 years) who were free of clinically evident cardiovascular disease. Measurements included ABI, carotid artery intima-media thickness, and coronary artery cal...
متن کاملAssociation between ankle-brachial index and carotid atherosclerotic disease.
BACKGROUND The association between the ankle brachial index (ABI) and the measurement of intimal medial thickness (IMT) has not been fully studied. OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate whether the prevalence of carotid atherosclerosis was higher in patients with ABI < 0.9 than in those with ABI > 0.9. METHODS From January 2011 to December 2011, 118 patients (48 men and 70 women) were enrolled. AB...
متن کاملAnkle-brachial index and peripheral arterial disease.
Patients with peripheral arterial disease including those with intermittent claudication have a high risk for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. The outcome of patients with intermittent claudication is less limited by local complications in the leg than by the systemic complications of coronary and cerebral vessels. About 30 % of these patients will die within 5 years,...
متن کاملThe Assosiation of Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Ankle Brachial Index with SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Asymptomatic Diabetic Patients
Objective: The risk of cardiac death in diabetic patients is 3 times more than non-diabetics. But it is not determined who need cardiac screening. About 41% of diabetic patients with silent ischemia are missed. the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and ankel brachial index are two independent,simple and non invasive method in vascular complications diagnosis in diabetic patients.The aim of ...
متن کاملAnkle-brachial index in coronary artery disease
Dear Editor, We have read the article ‘‘Ankle-brachial index as a predictor of coronary disease events in elderly patients submitted to coronary angiography’’ by Eduardo D. E. Papa et al. (1). These authors aimed to evaluate the value of the ankle-brachial index (ABI) as a marker of cardiovascular events in elderly patients and to evaluate the relationship between the ABI and the extent of coro...
