The inter-arm blood pressure difference and peripheral vascular disease: cross-sectional study.
BACKGROUND A blood pressure (BP) difference between the upper limbs is often encountered in primary care. Knowledge of its prevalence and importance in the accurate measurement of BP is poor, representing a source of error. Current hypertension guidelines do not emphasize this. OBJECTIVES To establish the prevalence of an inter-arm blood pressure difference (IAD) and explore its association w...
متن کاملManagement of high blood pressure in peripheral arterial disease.

Systolic HTA is the most frequently noted form in such disease, secondary to marked increase in large artery stiffness. The existence of PAD confers on the hypertensive patient a very high cardiovascular (CV) risk, requiring an intensive global therapeutical app...

متن کاملlower extremity arterial calcification as a predictor of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with peripheral arterial disease
conclusion peripheral arterial calcification is significantly correlated with cad extent in patients with pad. peripheral arterial calcification can be a useful marker for predicting multivessel-cad. results lecs in multivessel-cad were significantly higher than those in nonsignificant cad (10.0 ± 5.8 versus 4.0 ± 3.1, p < 0.001). lecs significantly correlated with ccs (r = 0.831, p < 0.001) an...
