The Epidemiology of Peripheral Arterial Disease: Importance of Identifying the Population at Risk Data from the Framingham Study and other population studies indicate that intermittent claudication (IC) sharply increases in late middle age and is somewhat higher among men than women. Noninvasive testing in populations indicates that the true prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is at least five times higher than would be expected based on the reported prevalence of IC. Peri... ...

The Correlation between Symptoms and Non-Invasive Test Results in Patients Referred for Peripheral Arterial Disease Testing The WHO/Rose questionnaire has served as the epidemiologic and clinical standard in the assessment of leg pain in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) for over three decades. However, the structure of this questionnaire does not allow assessment of leg-specific (i.e. right versus left) symptoms. We studied 508 patients aged 39–95 years (mean 68 years), initially referred for PA... ...

Collagens in the progression and complications of atherosclerosis Abstract Collagens constitute a major portion of the extracellular matrix in the atherosclerotic plaque, where they contribute to the strength and integrity of the fibrous cap, and also modulate cellular responses via specific receptors and signaling pathways. This review focuses on the diverse roles that collagens play in atherosclerosis; regulating the infiltration and... ...

The pathophysiology of erectile dysfunction related to endothelial dysfunction and mediators of vascular function The incidence of erectile dysfunction increases with diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, cardiovascular disease and renal failure. All these conditions are associated with endothelial dysfunction. This review addresses the pathophysiology of erectile dysfunction with a special focus on new insights into nitric oxide (NO)-mediated pathways, oxidative stress and parallels to endo... ...

Endothelial dysfunction and atherothrombosis in mild hyperhomocysteinemia Mildly elevated plasma homocysteine levels are an independent risk factor for atherothrombotic vascular disease in the coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial circulation. Endothelial dysfunction as manifested by impaired endothelium-dependent regulation of vascular tone and blood flow, by increased recruitment and adhesion of circulating inflammatory cells to the endothelium, ... ...

Clinical evidence for anti-inflammatory effects of antiplatelet therapy in patients with atherothrombotic disease Recent advances in our understanding of cardiovascular disease have revealed that atherothrombotic events, such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke, are the end result of a complex inflammatory response to multifaceted vascular pathology. As well as initiating thrombus formation at the site of a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque, platelets play a key role in vascular inflammation, ... ...

Functional outcomes and quality of life in peripheral arterial disease: current status This review examines current evidence for baseline functional impairment and changes with therapy in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) - ranging from patients without claudication or critical limb ischemia (CLI) but other exertional leg symptoms (erroneously referred to as asymptomatic in the Fontaine classifi cation system), to patients with claudication and those with CLI.... ...

Exercise Testing and Exercise Rehabilitation for Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease: Status in 1997 Intermittent claudication is a common manifestation of peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). Patients with claudication are limited in terms of work, housework and leisure activities so that functional status is very impaired. Therefore, the goals for treatment should focus on improving the functional impairment as well as on modifying risk factors. Evaluation of the functional st... ...

The role of optical coherence tomography in vascular medicine Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an emerging imaging modality that provides high-resolution, microstructural information on atherosclerotic plaques in biological systems. Intracoronary OCT can identify thin-cap fibroatheroma and other vulnerable plaques that may be responsible for acute coronary events. These characteristics make OCT helpful in guiding coro... ...

Association of anger proneness, depression and low social support with peripheral arterial disease: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study There is mounting evidence to suggest that psychosocial factors, including anger proneness, depression and social isolation, are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, evidence relating these factors to peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and intermittent claudication remains sparse. Using data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, we analyzed the relationship ... ...
