The incidence and predictors of peripheral arterial disease among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at Felege Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia, 2023: A retrospective follow-up study.

PLoS ONE
BackgroundPeripheral arterial disease is a blockage or narrowing of arteries transporting blood from the heart to the legs and feet. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the second most common risk factor for peripheral arterial disease.

Detection and localization of Coronary Arterial Lesion with the Aid of Impedance Cardiography [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
In recent years, coronary artery disease is escalating and is likely to assume an epidemic proportion by 2030. Currently the reliable methods for detection of coronary arterial lesions are either conventional coronary angiogram (CAG) or MDCT (Multiple Detector Computed Tomography) coronary angiogram.

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 ...

Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening of an Underserved High Risk Population [PDF]

, 2006
Disparity in access to health care and preventive services places a heavier burden of morbidity on those with limited access and resources. Underserved populations with decreased access to appropriate health screening and therapeutic interventions often ...

The importance of community screening of asymptomatic elderly for peripheral arterial disease by Doppler ultrasound and ankle-brachial index

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2017
Background: Peripheral arterial disease is an atherosclerotic disease characterized by an increase in morbidity and mortality. For these reasons early diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease is important.

Aortic and arterial mechanics [PDF]

Cardiovascular Mechanics, 2018, 2019
Knowledge of the mechanical properties of the aorta is essential as important concerns regarding the treatment of aortic pathologies, such as atherosclerosis, aneurysms and dissections, are fundamentally mechanobiological. A comprehensive review is presented in the current chapter. As the function of arteries is to carry blood to the peripheral organs,

Numerical modelling of a peripheral arterial stenosis using dimensionally reduced models and kernel methods [PDF]

, 2018
In this work, we consider two kinds of model reduction techniques to simulate blood flow through the largest systemic arteries, where a stenosis is located in a peripheral artery i.e. in an artery that is located far away from the heart. For our simulations we place the stenosis in one of the tibial arteries belonging to the right lower leg (right post
