Ankle-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 کاملRelation between the ankle-brachial index and the complexity of coronary artery disease in older patients
BACKGROUND In the elderly, the ankle-brachial index (ABI) has greater than 90% sensitivity and specificity for peripheral artery disease identification. A well-known relation exists between peripheral artery disease and the number of diseased coronary vessels. Yet, other anatomical characteristics have important impacts on the type of treatment and prognosis. PURPOSE To determine the relation...
متن کاملThe Relation Between Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) and Coronary Artery Disease Severity and Risk Factors: An Angiographic Study
BACKGROUND The current study aims to determine the relation between ankle-brachial index (ABI) and angiographic findings and major cardiovascular risk factors in patients with suspected coronary artery diseases (CAD) in Isfahan. METHODS In this cross-sectional descriptive-analytic research, patients with suspected CAD were studied. Characteristics of studied subjects including demographics, f...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea and the severity of coronary artery disease
Background: It has been implicated that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease including stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between OSA and severity of atherosclerosis assessed by angiography. Methods: This study included 337 patients ...
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...
