[Ankle-brachial index: a useful tool for stratifying cardiovascular risk].
All clinical guidelines on cardiovascular disease prevention recommend estimation of the overall individual risk as the basic tool to carry out an effective intervention. Unfortunately, the predictive power of risk equations and tables is not optimal, since many individuals who experience cardiovascular events are not identified as being at high-risk.1 For this reason, attempts have been made t...
متن کاملRisk of mortality and cardiovascular disease associated with the ankle-brachial index: Systematic review.
OBJECTIVE To determine the strength and consistency with which a low ankle brachial pressure index (ABI), measured in the general population, is associated with an increased risk of subsequent death and/or cardiovascular events. DESIGN Systematic review. DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase, reference lists and grey literature were searched; studies known to experts were also retrieved. MAIN OUTC...

متن کاملEndothelial function in a cardiovascular risk population with borderline ankle–brachial index
INTRODUCTION The diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) can be made by measuring the ankle-brachial index (ABI). Traditionally ABI values > 1.00-1.40 have been considered normal and ABI ≤ 0.90 defines PAD. Recent studies, however, have shown that individuals with ABI values between 0.90-1.00 are also at risk of cardiovascular events. We studied this cardiovascular risk population subgro...
متن کاملAnkle Brachial Index and Subsequent Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
BACKGROUND The clinical implications of ankle-brachial index (ABI) cutpoints are not well defined in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) despite increased prevalence of high ABI attributed to arterial stiffness. We examined the relationship of ABI with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality among CKD patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Three thousand six hundred twenty-seven pa...
