Diabetic foot disease and oedema [PDF]

, 2013
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are common and disabling, giving rise to significant morbidity and mortality as well as worldwide socioeconomic problems. Despite treatment, DFUs readily become chronic wounds and may lead to major lower limb amputations.

Peripheral Arterial Disease Study (PERART): Prevalence and predictive values of asymptomatic peripheral arterial occlusive disease related to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality

BMC Public Health, 2007
Background The early diagnosis of atherosclerotic disease is essential for developing preventive strategies in populations at high risk and acting when the disease is still asymptomatic. A low ankle-arm index (AAI) is a good marker of vascular events and

Silence of the limbs: pharmacological symptomatic treatment of intermittent claudication [PDF]

, 2010
Several oral "vasoactive" drugs claim to increase walking capacity in patients with intermittent claudication (IC). Naftidrofuryl, cilostazol, buflomedil, and pentoxifylline are the most studied molecules.

Dynamic muscle quality of the plantar flexors is impaired in claudicant patients with peripheral arterial disease and associated with poorer walking endurance [PDF]

, 2015
Objective Peripheral arterial disease and intermittent claudication (PAD-IC) negatively affects physical activity and function. There is evidence for plantarflexor muscle dysfunction and weakness; however, the extent to which this dysfunction can be ...

Drug treatment of intermittent claudication [PDF]

, 1994
Intermittent claudication is a major presenting manifestation of chronic obstructive peripheral arterial disease of the lower limbs. The goals of treatment in the absence of rest pain are relief of symptoms, improvement in walking distance and prevention

Review: Quality of Life in Lower Limb Peripheral Vascular Surgery [PDF]

, 2015
PURPOSE: Vascular intervention studies generally consider patency and limb salvage as primary outcomes. However, quality of life is increasingly considered an important patient-oriented outcome measurement of vascular interventions.

The role of vascular complexity on optimal junction exponents [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
We examine the role of complexity on arterial tree structures, determining globally optimal vessel arrangements using the Simulated AnneaLing Vascular Optimization (SALVO) algorithm, which we have previously used to reproduce features of cardiac and cerebral vasculatures.

Association between arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis: the Rotterdam Study [PDF]

, 2001
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Studies of the association between arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis are contradictory. We studied stiffness of the aorta and the common carotid artery in relation to several indicators of atherosclerosis ...
