Only three of the patients had symptoms and signs of peripheral vascular insufficiency in the legs. Peak muscular flow after maximal work during ischaemia was reduced in the diabetic patients and decreased with increasing duration of diabetes. Medial calcification of the arteries was common, and it ...
236. Vascular calcification is often associated with the pathologic process of atherosclerotic lesions, diabetes mellitus, vascular lesions of nephritic syndrome, injury of blood vessels and aging. 237. Objective To investigate the changes of vascular structure and expression of adhesion molecules in endo...
As key regulators of gene expression, microRNAs affect many cardiovascular mechanisms and have been associated with several cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relation of whole blood microRNAs with several quantitative me
to determine the small vessel vascular condition distal to the ankle. Toe pressures may be useful in cases of unsuspected vascular disease and baseline diabetic foot assessment when falsely high ankle pressure can occur due to calcification. Results are indicators of healing potential in foot ulcers...
The presence of thrombotic material results in the formation of calcifications, known as phleboliths, that can be painful when pressed. The calcifications can be seen on a plain radiograph and are a very useful sign for confirming a diagnosis of venous malformations and ruling out other ...
VitalScan Vascular+ also records the arm and ankle pulse volume waveforms (PVR) which provide pictorial evidence to aid a clinician's diagnosis; this is of particular value in patients prone to arterial calcification, such as diabetics. PVR analysis provides a second line of investigation that can...
(This figure goes up to 70% within 15 years). BHF fact file 2009 Scenario 1 • 60 year old smoker, pain in legs for 2 months • What will you ask about in history? Discussed in coming slides. • What if the pain which was previously intermittent on walking is now even at ...
Gangrene of lower legs, ischemic heart d/s and ischemic encepholopathy and others 1. Calcification 2. Plague ulceration 3. Intimal hemorrhage 4. Thrombosis and embolism 5. Aneurysm Risk Factors Age: 4-6th decades; but, the disease begins much younger age, slowly progressive. Sex: Men are ...
Many vascular graft structures have difficulty in conforming to the internal arterial wall, particularly since the wall can have a highly non-uniform surface as a result of atherosclerosis and calcification and is expanding and contracting with the patient's heartbeat and blood flow. Additionally, ...
through histology so as to indicate a composition of an atheroma (by identifying and location, for example, a fibrous cap, smooth muscle cells, a lipid pool, calcifications, and the like.) Intravascular ultrasound catheters may now be capable of such atheroma characterizations, and these ...
