Prevalence of Peripheral Arterial Disease in Diabetic Patients

Objective: Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a state characterized by atherosclerotic occlusive disease of lower extremities. Diabetes is the main risk factor for PAD. Material and Methods: To assess the prevalence of PAD, a cross sectional study was performed on 352 diabetic patients who referred to Yazd diabetes research center from 2007 to 2010. Vascular assessment was done by measuring ...

Surgical infrainguinal revascularization for peripheral arterial disease: factors affecting patency rate

Background: Peripheral arterial disease is a source of morbidity and mortality. Surgical vascular reconstruction is a treatment option but probability of failure and complications are important concerns. In this study, we evaluated outcome of surgical infrainguinal reconstruction and factors affecting graft patency for a period of one year. Methods: In this cohort study, 85 consecutive patie...

Circulating microRNA profiles for detection of peripheral arterial disease: small new biomarkers for cardiovascular disease.

Inflammation and peripheral arterial disease: the value of circulating biomarkers (Review).

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a manifestation of atherosclerotic vascular disease and is often associated with other comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia. An increasing body of evidence supports the notion that inflammation plays an important role in the development and progression of PAD. A number of studies have investigated the association of various acute ph...

Diagnosis, Prognosis and Treatment of Peripheral Vascular Disease in Patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcer: Adopted IWGDF Guidance

Introduction: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is common in diabetic patients, and about half of the patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) have concomitant peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The purpose of this study was to select an appropriate and comprehensive clinical guide in the management of DFU. The part of the practical guide that pertains to this is based on three systematic revie...
