peripheral arterial disease/albumin

Objective: A low albumin level has been associated with poor outcome, including death, in surgical patients. The mechanistic relationship, however, is more complex than simply nutritional. As studies are scant in the vascular population,

Coexisting coronary artery disease (CAD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Clinical evaluation and noninvasive tests have some important limitations for the detection of CAD in patients with PAD. The purpose of this study was to

One problem of vascular angiogenesis therapy is the lack of reliable methods for evaluating blood flow in the microcirculation. We aimed to assess whether (99m)Tc-macroaggregated albumin perfusion scintigraphy ((99m)Tc-MAA) predicts quantitated blood flow after therapeutic angiogenesis in patients

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Western countries. Despite its remarkable medical and social consequences, the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is often underestimated among atherosclerotic disorders. So far, little is known about the behavior

The authors aimed to evaluate the relationship of serum albumin with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and investigate any possible effect modifiers in hypertensive patients. In the cross-sectional study, a total of 10,900 Chinese hypertensive patients aged ≥18 years were enrolled. The outcome was

OBJECTIVE Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is frequently seen in hemodialysis patients, endovascular therapy (EVT) often being performed in such cases. We examined combined prognostic utility of pre-procedural serum albumin and C-reactive protein (CRP) in combination for predicting clinical outcome

OBJECTIVE To determine whether there is an association between serum ischemia-modified albumin and the risk factor profile in type 2 diabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease and to identify the risk markers for peripheral arterial disease. METHODS Participants included 290 patients (35.2%

Background: Peripheral arterial disease is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. C-reactive protein and albumin are biomarkers of inflammation and malnutrition that play key roles in the pathophysiological pathways involved in the

Background: Oxidative stress is involved in cardiovascular disease such as peripheral artery disease (PAD). Vascular Peroxidase 1 (VPO1), a novel heme-containing peroxidase mainly expressed in the cardiovascular system, aggravates

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of prior duration of diabetes, glycated hemoglobin level at study entry, and microalbuminuria or macroalbuminuria on the extent and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral arterial disease. METHODS We studied baseline characteristics of the 2368

BACKGROUND Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has emerged as a novel risk factor for mortality and cardiovascular events. Its association with the ankle-brachial index (ABI) and clinical peripheral artery disease (PAD) is less known. METHODS Using data (N = 3143) from the Cardiovascular Health

OBJECTIVE To determine whether peripheral arterial disease is associated with high circulating levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, independent of confounders. METHODS Participants were 955 men and women aged 60 years and older representative of the population in 2 Italian communities (107 with

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of the clinical use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) on the association between the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) and ankle-brachial index (ABI) or peripheral arterial

OBJECTIVE We analyzed the relationships between body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio, and conicity index and 24-hour urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) and creatinine clearance. METHODS Cross-sectional study. METHODS Patients presenting to a state

The relationship between the ultrasonographically determined presence and severity of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and cardiovascular risk factors was studied in 30 post-menopausal, nonsmoking women with type 2 diabetes mellitus. PAD was established on the basis of decreased ankle/arm index
