Association between ear creases and peripheral arterial disease
INTRODUCTION Peripheral arterial disease is a severe manifestation of atherosclerosis that can lead to critical ischemia of the lower limbs and is also associated with high cardiovascular risk. Diagonal lobular and anterior tragal ear creases have been associated with coronary artery disease, but they have not yet been investigated in patients with peripheral arterial disease. OBJECTIVES To e...
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 ...
متن کاملAssociation of Insulin Resistance and Inflammation With Peripheral Arterial Disease
Background—Although the role of inflammation in the pathophysiology of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is well established, the contribution of insulin resistance (IR) to PAD is less clear. We hypothesized that IR is associated with PAD and that the presence of IR would influence the association between C-reactive protein (CRP) and PAD, an association established predominantly in healthy indi...
متن کاملAssociation between the connexin37 polymorphism and peripheral arterial disease in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
C onnexin37 is one of the major con-nexins expressed in the endothelium, monocytes, and macrophages and plays important roles in atherogenesis (1). The COOH-terminus of this protein is a substrate for specific kinase or protein partners and thereby functions as a regulatory domain (2). Because the C-toT substitution at nucleotide 1019 in the connexin37 gene causes a proline-to-serine substituti...
متن کاملAssociation between peripheral arterial occlusive disease and cardiothoracic ratio in patients on chronic hemodialysis
The cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) and peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) are related to mortality in hemodialysis patients. However, data on the association between PAOD and CTR are limited. In this study, we aim to elucidate this relationship in patients on chronic hemodialysis. Using a retrospective cross-sectional study of 622 Taiwanese patients, we investigated the association of PAO...
