Ankle brachial pressure index in normal, healthy, younger adults

, 2013
Doppler ultrasound and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) calculations are used in the assessment of lower limb vascularity, specifically to determine arterial deficiency. ABPI is important as it is used as an indicator when deciding management options

Cholesterol accumulation in monocytes is associated with the severity of diabetic complications and the efficacy of glycemic control interventions in patients with type 2 diabetes

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
This study reveals that monocyte cholesterol accumulation correlates with the severity of diabetic complications and predicts post‐discharge glycemic deterioration. These findings suggest that monocytic cholesterol serves as a novel translational biomarker reflecting ‘metabolic memory’ and therapeutic resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes ...

Associations of skeletal muscle mass and strength with arterial stiffness in type 2 diabetes

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Lower skeletal muscle mass and lower handgrip strength were associated with higher arterial stiffness in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Assessment of both parameters may provide complementary information regarding vascular risk. ABSTRACT Sarcopenia is prevalent in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may contribute to increased ...

Preliminary study to investigate the normal range of Ankle Brachial Pressure Index in young adults

, 2007
Aim. The aim of this study was to find the normal range of Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) for healthy adults in the 20–40-year age group. The hypothesis was: there is no difference between the accepted normal value of ABPI (1•00) and the observed ...

Normative data of Ankle brachial pressure Index and Toe brachial index in normal healthy male adult using fully automated vascular Doppler

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2023
Context: Peripheral vascular disease affects some 12%–14% of the general population, and the majority of people with the disease are asymptomatic. Risk factors for it are smoking, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and syndrome X ...

Impaired Windkessel function and proximal aortic stiffness: Linking vascular ageing to cognitive decline

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central arterial stiffening, particularly of the proximal aorta, is increasingly recognised as a pivotal contributor to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. Loss of Windkessel function amplifies pulsatile pressure, reduces diastolic perfusion and accelerates microvascular damage in the brain.

Interobserver reliability of the ankle–brachial index, toe–brachial index and distal pulse palpation in patients with diabetes

, 2018
Objective: We conducted a prospective pilot study in patients with diabetes to analyse the interobserver reliability of the ankle–brachial index, toe–brachial index and distal pulse palpation depending on the training of the professional involved ...

Vascular, inflammatory and perceptual responses to hot water immersion: Impacts of water depth and temperature in young healthy adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Repeated hot water immersion can improve cardiovascular health; however, the respective effects of distinct immersion protocols remain unclear. Twenty‐two healthy adults completed three 30‐min hot water immersion bouts of different water temperatures and immersion depths (40°C shoulder‐deep immersion, 40‐Shoulder; 42°C waist‐deep immersion, 42‐

Comparison of two walk tests in determining the claudication distance in patients suffering from peripheral arterial occlusive disease

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2015
Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) in terms of the initial onset of pain (IOP), maximal claudicating pain (MCP), maximum walking distance (MWD), initial ankle ...
