Hyperlipoproteinaemia and peripheral vascular disease

Clinica Chimica Acta, 1973
Three hundred and fifty three consecutive patients with peripheral vascular disease were investigated for hyperlipoproteinaemia. These were then correlated with electrocardiographic abnormalities and smoking habits. A hyperlipoproteinaemia was found in 32% of 266 males and in 47% of 87 females.

DIABETES AND PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASE

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 1992
The classic Framingham Study suggests that the duration of diabetes is a contributing factor in the development of PVD. The major objective of all podiatric physicians should be to provide patients with the necessary information about the severity of their disease, particularly alerting them that noncompliance may lead to a lower extremity amputation ...

Diabetes and Peripheral Vascular Disease

Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2009
The risk of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is increased in diabetic patients, occurs earlier and is often more severe and diffuse. Endothelial dysfunction, vascular smooth muscle cell dysfunction, inflammation and hypercoagubility are the key factors in diabetic arteriopathy.

Peripheral vascular disease and depression

Journal of Vascular Nursing, 2005
The occurrence of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) in our aging population is of great proportion affecting approximately 20% of the population, which extrapolates to 8 to 12 million Americans. PVD is a progressive disease that almost always includes one or more comorbidities that impact greatly on severity and management of the disease.
