Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a progressive disorder characterized by stenosis and/or occlusion of large and medium-sized arteries, other than those that supply the heart (coronary artery disease, CAD) or the brain (cerebrovascular disease). PAD affects the lower extremities more commonly than...

found that 47% of those with aortoiliac disease, 48% of those with femoropopliteal occlusive disease, and 75% of those with an abdominal aortic aneurysm had severe coronary artery disease. This coronary disease association is not limited to PAD but extends to carotid atherosclerotic disease as ...
peripheral artery disease; lipoprotein(a); atherosclerosis; lipids1. Introduction Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a lipoprotein structurally similar to low-density lipoprotein and is characterized by apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] covalently bound to apolipoproteinB-100 (apoB-100). It was first described ...
Peripheralvascular disease(PVD) refers to diseases of the blood vessels (arteries and veins) located outside theheartand brain. While there are many causes of peripheral vascular disease, doctors commonly use the term peripheral vascular disease to refer to peripheral artery disease (peripheral arteria...

In patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), run-off MR-angiography (MRA) is a commonly performed diagnostic test to obtain high-resolution images for evaluation of the arterial system from the aorta through the distal run-off vessels. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalenc...
This study investigated whether visit-to-visit fasting plasma glucose (FPG) variability, as measured by the coefficient of variation (CV), increased peripheral artery disease (PAD) risk. Individuals with type 2 diabetes from the National Diabetes Care Ma
Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at high risk of major adverse limb events (MALEs) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). CHA2DS2-VASc is a prognostic score for atrial fibrillation stroke risk; however, no study has evaluated its predictive ability for MALEs and MAC...
