[Diagnosis and treatment for peripheral arterial disease].
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is atherosclerosis leading to narrowing of the major arteries distal to the aortic arch. The most common presenting symptom is claudication; however, only 10% of patients have classic claudication. Approximately 8 to 12 million Americans have PAD, including 15% to 20% of adults older than 70 years. The ankle-brachial index (ABI) can be used to screen for and di...
متن کاملRadionuclide plethysmography for noninvasive evaluation of peripheral arterial blood flow.
We validated a noninvasive radionuclide plethysmography technique to evaluate peripheral arterial blood flow during reactive hyperemia. This method, based on the measurement of blood volume variations during repetitive venous occlusions, was compared with strain-gauge venous impedance plethysmography. The technique uses 99mTc-labeled autologous red blood cells scintigraphy to determine the rate...
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 ...
