Periaortic Fat Deposition Is Associated With Peripheral Arterial Disease
Background—Central obesity is associated with peripheral arterial disease, suggesting that ectopic fat depots may be associated with localized diseases of the aorta and lower-extremity arteries. We hypothesized that persons with greater amounts of periaortic fat are more likely to have clinical PAD and a low ankle-brachial index. Methods and Results—We quantified periaortic fat surrounding the ...

متن کاملDisease Location Is Associated With Survival in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease
BACKGROUND We investigated whether disease location influences survival in patients with peripheral arterial disease. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients (n = 12,731; mean age, 67.5 ± 12.7 years; 57.4% male) who underwent outpatient noninvasive lower extremity arterial evaluation were followed up for 5.9 ± 3.1 years for all-cause mortality. Peripheral arterial disease (n = 8930) was defined as a res...
متن کاملIs Subclinical Thyroid Dysfunction Associated With with Coronary Heart Disease?
Introduction: Previous cohort studies reported contradictory data on the association between subclinical thyroid dysfunction and coronary heart disease (CHD). Regarding this, the present study was conducted to illuminate this relationship. Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the study, 3,066 participants employed in a study conducted by Azizi et al. aged ≥ 20 years were subjected to thyro...
متن کاملChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is Associated with an Increased Risk of Peripheral Arterial Disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and ischemic heart disease are considered to be a smoking-related triad. However, only a few studies investigated the relationship between COPD and PAD using limited study sample. We aimed to examine the risk of PAD among patients with COPD using a nationwide cohort database in Taiwan. We conducted a retrospective c...
