Ankle-brachial Index, Peripheral Arterial Disease, and Diabetic Retinopathy
We read with interest the article by Yun et al. [1], who reported that the frequency of diabetic retinopathy was associated with the presence of arterial stiffness as measured by the brachial ankle pulse wave velocity, but not with common carotid artery intima-media thickness, carotid plaque, or peripheral arterial disease (PAD), in a Korean sample of type 2 diabetic patients. They suggested th...
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 کاملAnkle Brachial Pressure Index: as a Predictor of Peripheral Arterial Disease in Diabetic & Non Diabetic Subjects
Background: Peripheral arterial disease is known to be associated with the diabetes and ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) can be used to screen such patients having PAD. Aims & Objective: To highlight the application of ankle brachial pressure index as a routine procedure and to assess the feasibility of using ABPI in detecting PAD in the patients of diabetes mellitus. Material and Methods: ...
متن کاملFunctional MRI in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Arterial Peak Flow versus Ankle-Brachial Index
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the success rate of successful arterial peak flow (APF) and ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurements in patients with suspected or known peripheral arterial disease (PAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS 183 patients with varying degrees of PAD were included. All subjects underwent ABI measurements and MR imaging of the popliteal artery to determine AP...
متن کاملAutomated Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index Measurement by Clinical Staff for Peripheral Arterial Disease Diagnosis in Nondiabetic and Diabetic Patients
OBJECTIVE Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a prognostic marker in cardiovascular disease. The use of Doppler-measured ankle-brachial pressure index (Dop-ABI) for PAD diagnosis is limited because of time, required training, and costs. We assessed automated oscillometric measurement of the ankle-brachial pressure index (Osc-ABI) by nurses and clinical staff. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Clin...
