British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2009 Peripheral arterial disease is commonly caused by atherosclerosis, and symptoms depend on the location and size of the affected artery, metabolic demands on the tissue, and the presence or absence of a collateral circulation. This article reviews the current evidence for the diagnosis and management of peripheral arterial disease.

Peripheral Artery Disease and Aortic Disease [PDF]
Global Heart, 2016 We reviewed published MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis) study articles concerning peripheral arterial disease, subclavian stenosis (SS), abdominal aortic calcium (AAC), and thoracic artery calcium (TAC). Important findings include, compared to non-Hispanic whites, lower ankle-brachial index (ABI) and more SS in African Americans, and higher ...

Central and peripheral pulse wave velocities are associated with ankle–brachial pressure index
Artery Research, 2011 Background: Central Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is considered to be the gold standard measurement of arterial stiffness. In healthy subjects, cardiovascular risk factors such as age, hypertension, diabetes and end-stage renal disease are associated with ...
