These are cases with conditions where the benefits of using of compression stockings may outweigh the risks. Close and regular monitoring by medical or nursing staff will be necessary for the duration of the compression treatment.. Gangrenous conditions including peripheral vascular disease (PVD) - Is the most common disease of the arteries. The name is often used as a synonym for peripheral artery disease (PAD). Another name is arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, caused by fatty deposits in the blood vessels. This illness causes decreased, or in severe cases, complete blockage of blood flow. If it cannot be corrected it can lead to serious infections, death of tissue and amputation of affected limbs.. ABPI (ankle brachial pressure index) less than 0.8 or falsely elevated e.g. due to diabetes - A low ankle-brachial index number can be an indicator for narrowing or blockage of the arteries in the legs, which can lead to circulatory problems, heart disease or stroke.

The association between ankle-brachial index and asymptomatic cranial- by Jing Qiu, Yong Zhou et al."The association between ankle-brachial index and asymptomatic cranial-" by Jing Qiu, Yong Zhou et al.
Background and purpose: Routine screening for asymptomatic cranial-carotid stenosis (ACCS) is controversial and recommendation in clinical practice is vague. The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is reported as a predictor for cardiovascular disease. However, there is a scarcity of data about the association between abnormal ABI and ACCS. A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the relationship between ABI and ACCS. Methods: A sample of 5440 Chinese adults aged 40-94 years old was recruited from 2010 to 2011. The ABI was measured using a portable Doppler device and ACCS was evaluated by bilateral carotid duplex ultrasound and portable examination devices. A logistic regression model was used to analyse the association between ABI and ACCS after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Results: A low ABI was associated with ACCS [odds ratio (OR) 1.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.42-2.67] after adjusting for potential confounders. When the data were stratified by age and sex, the

In this large study of patients with type 2 diabetes and CAD, we found a high prevalence of obstructive PAD and arterial stiffness and identified risk factors for an abnormal ABI. A longer duration of type 2 diabetes and hypertension were independently associated with a low ABI and NC artery. Certain factors, however, were associated only with a low ABI, such as older age, female sex, black race, current smoking, and higher CRP level. A higher prevalence of PAD among women and blacks has been observed and does not appear to be due to known atherosclerosis risk factors (3,4). Our study extends these findings to patients with type 2 diabetes and CAD. The higher prevalence of PAD in women and blacks may be due to biologic or social differences, as well as slightly lower normal ABI values in these populations (5). Older age, smoking, and CRP, similar to our study, are associated with the presence or progression of PAD in patients with diabetes (6,7).. Similar to a low ABI, a high ABI or NC artery is ...

Our findings indicate that among patients with stroke and those with TIA, 26% are found to have asymptomatic PAD as detected by ABI measurement. The prevalence noted was lower than prior studies that found abnormal ABI in 33.5% to 66.7% of patients with cerebrovascular disease. However, the earlier studies did not exclude patients with symptomatic PAD and hence provides estimates of PAD, both symptomatic and asymptomatic.26,27⇓ In our study, including the 8 patients we excluded from enrollment because of symptomatic PAD, our estimate of combined PAD is 31%, comparable to that reported in the first report.26 The second report noted an abnormal ABI in more than half of all patients, much higher than that noted in our study.27 This may be attributed to selection of sicker patients with stroke presenting to the stroke units. Both studies have reported a high rate of recurrent vascular events in patients with abnormal ABI. Our study, although evaluating fewer patients presenting to a single center, ...

Arterial calcifications are more prevalent and more severe in patients with diabetes than in non-diabetics as assessed by a retrospective analysis of 326 plain radiographs of the lower extremities. A more modern retrospective study analyzed 136 randomly selected angiograms and compared peripheral artery disease distribution in diabetics and non-diabetics. Profunda femoris artery and below knee involvement were more prevalent in diabetics. Although ABI >1.3 is common in diabetics, no correlation with ABI was reported in this study. A retrospective study that examined 174 diabetics and 53 control subjects found discrepancy between ABI and toe brachial pressure among diabetics with ABI >1.3, concluding that distal calcifications made the ABI inaccurate. Another retrospective analysis attempted to correlate high ABI with plaque morphology and distribution as assessed by duplex in 184 diabetic patients. In 54 patients with elevated ABI, plaque was found to exist in small collections, distributed ...

The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a simple, rapid, non-radiological, non-invasive and highly valuable test that can be easily performed in the clinic to analyse your risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD).. What is Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)?. PAD is a serious condition where the arteries of the legs (lower extremities) are narrowed or blocked due to build-up of cholesterol in the arterial walls resulting in poor circulation, (i.e. restriction of flow of oxygen-rich blood). People with PAD are at increased risk of heart attack and stroke and both cardiovascular and overall mortality. This condition may occur in about 4% in the healthy adult population over the age of. 40 years old to as high as 30% in patients in patients who. undergo screening in a primary care setting with diabetes,. cigarette smoking and age as risk factors.. How is ABI obtained?. ABI is derived from ratio of measuring and comparing the systolic blood pressure of the lower extremities (leg) at the ankle region to the ...

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) - Greater Pittsburgh Vascular AssociatesPeripheral Artery Disease (PAD) - Greater Pittsburgh Vascular Associates
Peripheral Artery Disease is a narrowing of the peripheral arteries, most commonly in the arteries of the legs and pelvis. When you develop PAD, your extremities dont receive enough blood flow to keep up with demand. This causes symptoms, most notably leg pain when walking. Peripheral artery disease is also likely to be a sign of a more widespread accumulation of fatty deposits in your arteries (atherosclerosis). This condition may be reducing blood flow to your heart and brain, as well as your legs.. ...

Peripheral artery disease is caused by arteriosclerosis, or "hardening of the arteries." This problem occurs when fatty material and a substance called plaque build up on the walls of your arteries. This causes the arteries to become narrower. The walls of the arteries also become stiffer and cannot widen (dilate) to allow greater blood flow when needed.. As a result, when the muscles of your legs are working harder (such as during exercise) they cannot get enough blood and oxygen. Eventually, there may not be enough blood and oxygen, even when the muscles are resting. This can cause pain, coldness and discoloration as well as possible ulcers and ultimately gangrene.. This is a common disorder that typically affects more men than women, especially over age 50. People are at higher risk if they have a history of:. ...

Arterial stiffness5
  • However, there are limited data regarding the association between the TyG index and arterial stiffness in adults. (springer.com)
  • The TyG index is more independently associated with increased arterial stiffness than HOMA-IR in Korean adults. (springer.com)
  • Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the relationship between the TyG index and arterial stiffness and compared the data with that of HOMA-IR in Korean adults. (springer.com)
  • Therefore, this study evaluates the effect of American ginseng (AG) on arterial stiffness, as measured by augmentation index (AI), and blood pressure (BP), in type 2 diabetes patients with concomitant hypertension. (nih.gov)
  • We concluded that evaluations of the eGFR, HTN, body-mass index, and SBP can be used in a model for arterial stiffness risk assessments for community-dwelling individuals with a normal or slightly decreased eGFR. (mdpi.com)

Sensitivity and specifi1
  • The sensitivity and specificity of a low ankle-brachial index to predict incident coronary heart diseases were 16.5% and 92.7%, for incident stroke were 16.0% and 92.2%, and for cardiovascular mortality were 41.0% and 87.9%, respectively. (ahajournals.org)

Mortality6
Diabetes Mellitus1
  • Comorbidities such as age, prior stroke, prior atrial fibrillation/flutter, diabetes mellitus, higher blood pressure, prior amputation, lower ankle-brachial index, and geographic region were each independently associated with the occurrence of all-cause stroke. (medscape.com)

Blood vessels1
  • Ankle blood index and the risk of heat attack is inversely proportional i.e the less the ABI theblockage in the blood vessels is more and hence increase in risk of heart attack and stroke.Online Journals are scholarly and peer reviewed journals. (omicsonline.org)
Conclusion1
  • In conclusion, we found little evidence about the accuracy of the ankle brachial index for diagnosing PAD in people presenting with exertional leg pain. (cochrane.org)
