Serum Total Bilirubin Level and Prevalent Lower-Extremity Peripheral Arterial Disease
Background—Bilirubin, with recently recognized antioxidant and antiinflammatory activity, has emerged as a candidate for atheroprotection. We hypothesized that higher levels of bilirubin would reduce susceptibility to peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Methods and Results—We analyzed 7075 adults with data available on the ankle brachial index, serum total bilirubin level, and PAD risk factors i...

متن کاملLower Extremity Peripheral Arterial Disease
Eight to 12 million people in United States have PAD (Allison et al. 2007). Only ~10% of patients with PAD have classic intermittent claudication (IC), ~50% have atypical leg symptoms and ~40% are asymptomatic (Hiatt 2001). Its prevalence significantly increases with age; 12 – 20% of those above the age of 65 years suffer from PAD (Ostchega al. 2007). The prevalence of PAD is similar in men and...

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...
