It has been hypothesized that this could dispose to vascular calcifications and thereby perhaps also cardiovascular morbidity. The aim of this study was to assess lower leg arterial calcifications (LLAC) in patients with HypoPT or PHP. Using a cross-sectional design, we measured the LLAC using ...
In diabetes mellitus, peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) more often affects the lower rather than the upper leg. It is hypothesized that peripher... E Chantelau,KM Lee,R Jungblut - 《Diabetes Res Clin Pract》 被引量: 102发表: 1995年 Breast arterial calcifications: association with ...
If the embolus is in an arm or leg, there will be muscle pain, numbness or tingling, pale skin color, lower temperature in the limb, and weakness or loss of muscle function. If it occurs in an internal organ, there is usually pain and/or loss of the organ's function. Diagnosis The...
Standard tests for lower extremity vascular disease are limited in this case since PAD is largely asymptomatic. Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is sensitive but not useful for tissue assessment nor for patients with arterial calcifications and... B Bailey,R Schechter 被引量: 0发表: 2009年 Noninvasiv...
The use of the ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) has little place in the exclusion of PAD in diabetes because the frequent occurrence of arterial calcification in diabetes means that ankle pressures are often artifactually high. Failure to feel the pulse should be sufficient. If, however, th...
In addition to the accumulation of plaque, the involved arteries frequently present with fibrosis and calcification, which cause hardening of the artery, or atherosclerosis.87 It is uncommon for a lower extremity ulcer to result from pure arterial etiology. However, arterial insufficiency plays a ...

In ESRD patients, arterial rigidity is mainly attributed to alterations in intrinsic biomaterial stiffness that includes fibroelastic intimal thickening, calcification of elastic lamellae, increased extracellular matrix deposition, elastynolysis and inflammation, elevated collagen along with reduced elastic...
5% of patients have an abnormal ulnar collateral flow as judged by the Allen test (a return of blood to the ischemic hand in greater than 10 seconds after release of the ulnar pulse), while palpable or visible calcification during harvesting pose potential problems in the elderly. RA trauma ...
