Ankle-brachial index and peripheral arterial disease.
Patients with peripheral arterial disease including those with intermittent claudication have a high risk for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. The outcome of patients with intermittent claudication is less limited by local complications in the leg than by the systemic complications of coronary and cerebral vessels. About 30 % of these patients will die within 5 years,...
متن کاملAnkle-brachial index in coronary artery disease
Dear Editor, We have read the article ‘‘Ankle-brachial index as a predictor of coronary disease events in elderly patients submitted to coronary angiography’’ by Eduardo D. E. Papa et al. (1). These authors aimed to evaluate the value of the ankle-brachial index (ABI) as a marker of cardiovascular events in elderly patients and to evaluate the relationship between the ABI and the extent of coro...
متن کاملAnkle-brachial Index, Peripheral Arterial Disease, and Diabetic Retinopathy
We read with interest the article by Yun et al. [1], who reported that the frequency of diabetic retinopathy was associated with the presence of arterial stiffness as measured by the brachial ankle pulse wave velocity, but not with common carotid artery intima-media thickness, carotid plaque, or peripheral arterial disease (PAD), in a Korean sample of type 2 diabetic patients. They suggested th...
متن کاملAnkle brachial index in coronary artery disease – Author's reply
We would like to thank Balta and colleagues for their consideration of our article and the editorial board for providing an opportunity to clarify some issues. Ankle–brachial index (ABI) measurement may be influenced by age, body weight, race and anatomic variations of the lower limb arteries (1). After the measurement has been completed, the pulse locations of the lower limbs are found by palp...
متن کاملSuperficial Femoral Artery Plaque, the Ankle-Brachial Index, and Leg Symptoms in Peripheral Arterial Disease
Background—The clinical significance of magnetic resonance–imaged plaque characteristics in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is not well established. We studied associations of the ankle-brachial index (ABI) and leg symptoms with MRI-measured plaque area and percent lumen area in the SFA in participants with and without lower-extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Methods and Results—...
