Antioxidants in Peripheral Arterial Disease

Current Drug Targets, 2003
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an important manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis that is characterized by obstruction of the arteries in the lower limbs. Experimental and epidemiological studies suggested a key role for oxidative stress in initiation and progression of the atherosclerotic process. The results of these studies provided a good

Cilostazol and peripheral arterial disease

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2008
Peripheral arterial disease is both common and disabling. Contemporary management of peripheral arterial disease is multimodal, encompassing both medical and interventional treatments. Cilostazol (Pletal), a 2-oxoquinolone derivative, is currently licensed in the UK for the treatment of patients with intermittent claudication to improve their walking ...

Biomarkers in Peripheral Arterial Disease

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2009
Patients who have peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have a high incidence of cardiac morbidity and mortality. There have been numerous biomarkers described to assess cardiovascular risk, but few are part of routine clinical practice. Currently, the key biomarkers that improve risk stratification in patients with PAD are cardiac troponins, C-reactive ...

Cryoplasty for peripheral arterial disease

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2013
Percutaneous balloon angioplasty is an endovascular technique for restoring blood flow through an artery that has become narrowed or blocked by atherosclerosis. Narrowing of the artery following angioplasty (restenosis) is the major cause of long-term failure. Cryoplasty offers a different approach to improving long-term angioplasty results.

Footcare and peripheral arterial disease

Journal of Vascular Nursing, 2023
Changes in the feet occur with age which can cause pain and other foot pathologies that can lead to falls, foot ulcers and amputation. Some older adults may have difficulty doing foot hygiene due to physical or mental decline such as body habitus, poor vision, arthritic problems to mention a few.1 The presence of PAD creates an increased risk of foot ...

Treatment of peripheral arterial disease

Clinical Cornerstone, 2002
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis strongly associated with cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Approximately 12% of the US adult population is affected. Despite its prevalence, the disease has received little attention from clinicians.

Angiogenesis in peripheral arterial disease

Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2018
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) refers to narrowing of the peripheral arteries and atherosclerosis is the most important cause. In patients with PAD, revascularization is the preferred therapeutic strategy; nonetheless several patients are not deemed candidates for it due to advanced disease or several comorbidities.

Arteriogenesis in Peripheral Arterial Disease

Endothelium, 2003
Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) most frequently presents with lower limb pain on walking--intermittent claudication. As the disease progresses the patient might suffer from rest pain and/or ischemic ulceration--critical limb ischemia (CLI).

Hypertension in Peripheral Arterial Disease

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2004
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of the lower limbs is associated with a high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Intermittent claudication is the most common symptomatic manifestation of PAD, but is in its own value an important predictor of cardiovascular death, increasing it by three-fold, and increasing all-cause mortality by two-to-five fold.
