Hintergrund: Die hydrostatische Blutdruckmessung der Großzehenarterien wurde bisher mit der 8-MHz- Dopplersonde zum Nachweis arterieller Pulsationen durchgeführt. Alternativ könnte die Impedanz-Sphygmografie (ISG) in Betracht kommen. Fragestellungen: Ist ...
Hintergrund: Die Inzidenz und die klinische Bedeutung der peripheren arteriellen Verschlusskrankheit (PAVK) in Deutschland werden unterschätzt. Um in der Allgemeinbevölkerung das Bewusstsein für venöse und arterielle Erkrankungen zu erhöhen, startete der ...
Background: To investigate the predictive value of ankle-brachial index (ABI) for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in Chinese patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patients and methods: 1563 CKD patients were enrolled in the cohort ...
Background: Variation in the ankle-brachial index (ABI) is related to the progression of atherosclerosis in the lower extremities and is associated with mid-term cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes ...
Background: Very few studies have examined combined association of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and ankle-brachial index (ABI) on recurrent ischemic stroke in patients with ischemic stroke in Chinese populations. Patients and methods: A ...
Background: To investigate the association between ankle-brachial index (ABI), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in a general population. Patients and methods: The study population consisted of 8,246 people aged 50 ...
Abstract. Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects approximately 202 million individuals around the world and is associated with a high risk of myocardial infarction, stroke and death. Although there is a clear inverse association between ...
Summary: An estimated 237 million people suffer from peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and prevalence is still increasing. Currently, we do not have any randomized trials that compare screening to ...
Summary:Background: A significant consequence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an impaired functional capacity and deteriorated quality of life. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the usefulness of a symptom questionnaire ...
