Background and aims: The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus is causing a massive growth of peripheral artery disease incidences, a disabling complication of diabetic atherosclerosis, which leads often to the amputation of the affected limb ...

PAD as a Marker of Systemic Atherosclerosis: A Comprehensive Review of Residual Risk and Contemporary Strategies for MACE and MALE Reduction [PDF]
Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis associated with substantial risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and major adverse limb events (MALE). Scope: This comprehensive review examines the

Apolipoprotein B100 predicts cardiovascular and limb events in type 2 diabetes patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia [PDF]
Background Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) undergoing lower extremity revascularization (LER) face high risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and major adverse limb events (MALE ...

Risk stacking in peripheral artery disease (PAD): Integrating genetics, cardiometabolic disease and social determinants of health to explain worsening PAD outcomes [PDF]
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) contributes disproportionately to disability, limb loss, and premature mortality, and U.S. major amputation rates have risen in the past decade among increasingly younger adults. Traditional risk tools incompletely explain

Association Between Intra-Leg Ankle-Brachial Index Asymmetry and Major Adverse Limb Events in Patients with Peripheral Artery Disease. [PDF]
Background/Objectives: The ankle–brachial index (ABI) is the gold-standard test for peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, ABI is conventionally calculated using the higher of the dorsalis pedis (DP)- or posterior tibial (PT)-derived ankle pressure ...

Comparative effectiveness of dual antiplatelet therapy after revascularization in diabetes and chronic limb-threatening ischemia: a target trial emulation study [PDF]
Background Patients with diabetes and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) face high risks of adverse limb and cardiovascular events. While post-revascularization dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is generally recommended, the optimal regimen remains ...

Implications of Modest Reductions in ABI Measurements for Risk of Major Adverse Limb Events Among 223,350 Veterans. [PDF]
Background: Low resting ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a marker of poor cardiovascular outcomes. Whether modest decrements in ABI translate into higher risks of major adverse limb events (MALE) is unclear because prior studies are small or lack racial ...
