Gender and peripheral arterial disease.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to determine gender differences in the risk factor profile and leg symptoms of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). METHODS We identified men and women with PAD from a cohort of patients within a primary care clinic setting. We screened patients 50 years of age and older. We diagnosed PAD based on an ankle-brachial index (ABI) level of less than 0.9; the ABI i...
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 کاملGender Differences in Health Status and Adverse Outcomes Among Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease
BACKGROUND Few studies have examined gender differences in health status and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). This study assessed (1) self-reported health status at PAD diagnosis and 12-months later, and explored (2) whether outcomes in women with PAD differ with regard to long-term major adverse events. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 816 patients (285...
متن کاملGender Differences of Arterial Stiffness and Arterial Age in Smokers
The present study aimed to find gender differences for arterial stiffness and arterial aging in smokers. A total of 147 smokers (71 male and 76 female, matched for age) were explored using an Arteriograph in a cross-sectional survey. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), arterial age (AA), brachial and aortic augmentation index (AixBrach, AixAo), and blood pressure variables were assessed. Data about smok...
متن کاملEvaluation of gender differences in endothelium-independent dilation using peripheral arterial tonometry.
BACKGROUND A change in peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) in response to reactive hyperaemia is often used to provide a non-invasive measure of endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD). Reactive hyperaemia does not allow one to quantify endothelium-independent dilation (EID), which is part of overall vascular function. Although most research examining vascular function and cardiovascular disease h...
