Peripheral occlusive arterial disease (P.O.A.D.) is one of the situations in which hemorheological abnormalities are usually described.

It is thought that multi-factors may relate to the occurence and exaggeration of arterial sclerosis in diabetes mellitus. We pointed out the calcification of peripheral arteries in the legs on X-ray photographs as a sign of arteriosclerosis, and studied its prevalence in diabetics and nondiabetics...

Additional chapters describe cutting-edge noninvasive angiography and vascular flow studies, specific drug therapy for claudication, regression of atherosclerosis therapy, gene therapy, and drug eluting stents for peripheral arterial disease. The authors also examine the epidemiology of LEAD, the effects ...
Additionally, physicians may miss the diagnosis if a comprehensive history and vascular examination are not a routine part of their assessment. The hallmark symptom of peripheral arterial disease is intermittent claudication, defined as reproducible muscular leg pain that is precipitated by exercise and ...
To test the predictive values of and independent contributions to cardiovascular and all-cause mortality of various arterial parameters exploring characteristics of the arterial wall at different sites, we studied prospectively 110 stable end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis. These parameters inv...
Because PAD often doesn’t have symptoms at first, you likely have had the disease for a time without realizing it. Over time, less blood has flowed through the arteries in your legs, Osborne says. Without as much blood to supply your muscles, walking can be uncomfortable or even painful....
Since I knew almost nothing aboutperipheral arterial disease (PAD), I jumped at the chance to talk with Dr. Michael Jaff a few days ago. He is the medical director of the Vascular Diagnostic Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital and a specialist in treating PAD. ...
