BACKGROUND: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) screening may be performed to prevent
progression of PAD or future cardiovascular disease in general. Recommendations for PAD …

OBJECTIVES: Despite peripheral arterial disease (PAD), defined as ankle–brachial index
(ABI)≤ 0.9, being an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, it is …

Background Hypertension is an established risk factor for peripheral arterial disease (PAD),
but the prevalence of this condition in hypertensive patients without comorbidities is …

Background The ankle brachial index (ABI) is an efficient tool for objectively documenting
the presence of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD). However, different …

Background Supra‐normal ankle brachial index (ABI)(> 1.40), poses diagnostic challenges
to determine the presence, location, and severity of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The …

Background Ankle‐brachial index (ABI) is used to identify lower‐extremity peripheral artery
disease (PAD). However, its association with severe ischemic leg outcomes (eg …

We aimed to obtain reliable data on the epidemiology, co-morbidities and risk factor profile
of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in general medical practise. In the cross-sectional part of …

Aims We aimed to assess the increased risk of death and severe vascular events in elderly
individuals with subclinical or manifest peripheral arterial disease (PAD), evidenced by low …

Aim: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at a high risk of cardiovascular
disease (CVD) among Western populations. However, evidence for an elevated risk in Asian …

An exercise ankle–brachial index (ABI) test can provide further insight into the functional
significance of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The variability in its use, associated patient …
