OBJECTIVE
Both obesity and peripheral artery disease (PAD) limit function and may work additively to reduce mobility. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of a 6-month, center-based walking program on mobility function between adults who are weight-stable obese and nonobese with
BACKGROUND
Obesity is recognized as an independent predictor of coronary artery disease; however, its importance in peripheral arterial disease is less clear. The aim of this study was to assess the association between obesity and the severity and outcome of intermittent claudication.
METHODS
This
BACKGROUND
Intermittent claudication (IC) and its consequences have customarily been underestimated in women. Our study aimed to determine the differences on functional and quality-of-life issues between women and men in a large group of claudicants.
METHODS
This study was an observational,
The initial examinations of prospective epidemiological studies of the same kind performed in random samples of 50-54 years old men from Moscow and Berlin showed the following prevalence rates (each first figure for Moscow, second for Berlin): ischaemic heart disease 14.4/13.6%, arterial
Background: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) present a high prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome, as well as diseases related to cardiovascular dysfunction. However, whether obesity influences walking capacity and
The case reported concerns an obese patient suffering from lumbo-radicular intermittent claudication due to lumbar epidural lipomatosis. Compression was revealed by magnetic resonance imaging which showed the existence of a hypersignal in weighted sequences in T1 situated in the epidural space and
BACKGROUND Controversy exists with regard to the effectiveness and reasons for bariatric procedures in patients older than 60 years. The goal of our study was to determine the reduction in risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus after undergoing bariatric surgery in
The pathogenesis of in-stent restenosis is still not clear. The aim of this study was to determine the nutritional status of patients with lower limb ischemia and the risk of target lesion revascularization (TLR) after superficial femoral artery (SFA) Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is defined as peripheral blood flow impairment, especially in the legs, caused by atherosclerotic stenosis. The disease decreases quality of life because of intermittent claudication or necrosis of the leg. The hindlimb ischemia model, in which ischemia is induced by
A randomized placebo-controlled study was undertaken in 188 patients with severe intermittent claudication attending two vascular clinics in Manchester and Liverpool. After a 4-week run-in period, patients received active or placebo treatment for 24 weeks. Patients were assessed on a treadmill prior
Background and aim: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with an increased risk of fatal and non-fatal coronary heart disease (CHD). The aims of the this study were 1) to investigate the prevalence of PAD and suspected PAD in a
OBJECTIVE
Obesity is an independent cardiovascular risk factor, but its prognostic role in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is not well defined. Accordingly, we assessed the impact of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) on cardiovascular risk in a homogeneous cohort of
OBJECTIVE
The correction of atherosclerotic risk factors is the unavoidable assumption to assure the maximal effectiveness and duration of the results of any therapeutic intervention (pharmacological and surgical) for the treatment of intermittent claudication. Aim of this study has been to verify
Objective/background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is an important manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis. Obesity is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and for cardiovascular events. However, the relationship between obesity and PAD
OBJECTIVE
To assess the gender and ethnic differences in arterial compliance in patients with intermittent claudication.
METHODS
A total of 114 patients participated, including 38 Caucasian men, 32 Caucasian women, 16 African American men, and 28 African American women. Patients were assessed on
