Ankle-brachial index and bone turnover in patients on dialysis.
An association between atherosclerosis and osteoporosis has been reported in several studies. This association could result from local intraosseous atherosclerosis and ischemia, which is shown by limb osteoporosis in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), but also could result from bidirectional communication between the skeleton and blood vessels. Systemic bone disorders and PAD are fr...
متن کاملAnkle--brachial index, vascular calcifications and mortality in dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a noninvasive method to evaluate peripheral artery disease (PAD). ABI <0.9 diagnoses PAD; ABI >1.3 is a false negative caused by noncompressible arteries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between ABI with vascular calcifications (VC) and with mortality, in haemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS We studied 219 HD patients (60% male...
متن کاملRisk factors associated with brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity among peritoneal dialysis patients in Macao
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in Macao. Increased arterial stiffness determined by pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been established as an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality in end-stage renal disease patients. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between arterial stiffness and its associ...

Le Médecin de famille canadien | Vol 59: march • mars 2013 The physical examination is facing extinction in modern medicine. The Top Ten Forgotten Diagnostic Procedures series was developed as a teaching tool for residents in family medicine to reaffirm the most important examinationbased diagnostic procedures, once commonly used in everyday practice. For a complete pdF of the Top Ten Forgotten...
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...
