Inflammatory Burden

Aims. To determine the effect of inflammatory preoperative burden on the incidence of reintervention and mortality after endovascular therapy (EVT) and to investigate if diabetes mellitus (DM) is involved in these results. Material and Methods. A prospective cohort study with 12-month follow-up period in patients with peripheral artery disease was carried out. hsCRP and fibrinogen assessments were determined. Results. 85 diabetic and 58 nondiabetic patients were included. An increase between basal hsCRP (11.8 mg/L (10.2; 21.5) versus 4.3 mg/L (1.8; 13.9), P<0.001) and fibrinogen levels (450 mg/dL (425; 479.1) versus 369 mg/dL (268; 419), P<0.001) and the incidence of death during followup was found. A significant increase between higher hsCRP and fibrinogen basal levels and the incidence of reintervention during the follow-up period was also noted (P=0.001 and P=0.04, resp.,). There was no difference between DM and non-DM patients in the 1-year need of reintervention (33.3% versus 45%, P=0.15, resp.,). Basal hsCRP and fibrinogen levels did not significantly differ between DM and non-DM patients who needed reintervention. Conclusions. The prognosis of the EVT is likely marked by the previous inflammatory load, regardless of DM.

Background Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have known to a high risk of cardiac mortality. However, the effectiveness of the routine evaluation of coronary arteries such as routine coronary angiography (CAG) in PAD patients receiving percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is unclear. Methods A total of 765 consecutive PAD patients underwent successful PTA and 674 patients (88.1%) underwent routine CAG. Coronary artery disease (CAD) was defined as angiographic stenosis ≥70%. Patients were divided into three groups; 1) routine CAG and a presence of CAD (n = 413 patients), 2) routine CAG and no CAD group (n = 261 patients), and 3) no CAG group (n = 91 patients). To adjust for any potential confounders that could cause bias, multivariable Cox-proportional hazards regression and propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier curved analysis at 5-year follow-up. Results In this study, the 5-year survival rate of patients with PAD who underwent PTA was 88.5%. Survival rates were similar among the CAD group, the no CAD group, and the no CAG group, respectively (87.7% vs. 90.4% vs. 86.8% P = 0.241). After PSM analysis between the CAD group and the no CAD group, during the 5-year clinical follow-up, there were no differences in the incidence of death, myocardial infarction, strokes, peripheral revascularization, or target extremity surgeries between the two groups except for repeat PCI, which was higher in the CAD group than the non-CAD group (9.3% vs. 0.8%, P<0.001). Conclusion PAD patients with CAD were expected to have very poor long-term survival, but they are shown no different long-term prognosis such as mortality compared to PAD patients without CAD. These PAD patients with CAD had received PCI and/or optimal medication treatment after the CAG. Therefore a strategy of routine CAG and subsequent PCI, if required, appears to be a reasonable strategy for mortality risk reduction of PAD patients. Our results highlight the importance for evaluation for CAD in patients with PAD.

n-3 PUFA may exert favourable effects on several processes that may inhibit the atherosclerotic process. However, the role of n-3 PUFA in lowering the risk of atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) has been fiercely debated. In the present paper, we summarise the main findings from previous follow-up studies of intake and studies using adipose tissue as an objective biomarker to investigate exposure to n-3 PUFA in relation to ASCVD risk and discuss some perspectives for further research. The majority of previous studies investigating intake of marine- and plant-based n-3 PUFA have focused on CHD while other ASCVD such as ischaemic stroke and peripheral artery disease have been less studied. However, recent data from Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort suggest that marine n-3 PUFA may be inversely associated with risk of myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke and peripheral arterial disease caused by atherosclerosis. The effect of the plant-derived n-3 PUFA α-linolenic acid on ASCVD is less clear and several gaps in the literature remain to be explored.

Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a marker of increased risk for cardiovascular events and of poorer prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The prevalence of unknown PAD amongst patients with ACS varies between studies according to the mode of diagnosis.Aims: To evaluate the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in diabetic ACS patients with or without tobacco user by using ankle brachial index (ABI).We also assess the probable predictors of PAD among these patients.Methodology: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital and Research Institute, Dhaka, Bangladesh starting from 1st January 2016 to 30th April 2016 over a period of four months. A total of 60 patients were studied. They were grouped on the basis of their smoking habit. Diabetic patients with ACS and tobacco user (smoke and smoke less) in group I and without tobacco user in group II.Results: The mean age of the studied patients was 56.63 ± 8.95 years, range from 25-90 years. 73.30% was male and 26.70% was female. Twenty three patients of tobacco user in group-I (n=30) had peripheral artery disease and ten patients of group-II (n=30) had peripheral artery disease. It was statistically significant (p=0.003).Conclusion: There is correlation between peripheral arterial disease and coronary artery disease. Diagnosis and supervision of patients with PAD is important for preventing the local progression of the disease and effective secondary prevention of future coronary and cerebrovascular events.Bangladesh Heart Journal 2017; 32(1) : 3-9

Patients with peripheral arterial disease often have coronary heart disease, as well. However, their assessment with classical noninvasive cardiology methods is often non-diagnostic or limited. The aim of this study was to analyze the feasibility and the risks of dobutamine stress cardiovascular MRI for cardiac evaluation of patients with peripheral arterial disease. 21 patients with peripheral artery disease (mean±SD age 64.3±7.7 years) were studied prospectively with dobutamine stress cardiovascular MRI. The protocol was completed by all of 21 patients. The target heart rate was attained in 95.2% of the studies. No serious adverse event occurred. The image quality scores (1-4) for all ventricular wall segments were high (median, interquartile range) (4 [4-4]). Five patients (23.8%) have inducible wall motion abnormality. Interobserver agreement was almost perfect for wall motion scores (κ = 0.87, p<0.0001). Dobutamine stress cardiovascular MRI is feasible with low risk for the cardiological assessment of patients with peripheral arterial disease. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 285–291.

Peripheral artery disease is a common vascular disorder. In contrast to coronary and cerebral artery disease, peripheral arterial disease remains an underappreciated condition that despite being serious and extremely prevalent is rarely diagnosed and even less frequently treated. Early diagnosis of peripheral artery disease and individual assessment of risk factors are important in preventing further cardiovascular complications. The ankle-brachial index is a simple, reliable tool for diagnosing peripheral artery disease. Many studies underscore the importance of using the ankle-brachial index to identify persons with peripheral artery disease, since peripheral artery disease is frequently undiagnosed or asymptomatic. Measurement of the ankle-brachial index is simple enough to be performed in any doctor’s office, and it is one of the most reliable indices of peripheral artery disease.

Background/Objectives: Peripheral arterial disease is a frequent and severe disease with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, female patients appear to be undertreated. Objectives: The primary goal was to compare the prescription of optimal medical treatment (OMT) of peripheral arterial disease between women and men in primary health care. Material and methods: An observational retrospective study was based on the data collected from general practitioners (GP) office in Brittany. Results: The study included 100 patients, aged 71 ± 10 years old, with 24% of women. Compared to men, women received the OMT less frequently (29.2% vs. 53.9%, p = 0.038), especially after 75 years old. Antiplatelet therapy was largely prescribed (100%), statins less frequently (70.8% women vs. 85.5% men), and prescription of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors was still not optimal in the two genders (41.7% women vs. 61.9% men). Active smoking is important for both women and men (33% and 30% respectively). Conclusion: Optimal medical treatment of peripheral artery disease is insufficiently prescribed, especially in women in this region of France.

Specific Symptoms

Peripheral Arterial Disease is common to all elderly peoples, which reduces the blood flow to the limbs. Due to PAD, the affected person unable to walk and gives pain while they try to walk. This PAD does not have any specific symptoms to affected persons in the earlier stage. This paper presents a solution to find the disease in which stage the person was affected. The Peripheral arterial disease is evaluated using convolution neural network classifier to identify in early stage to take treatments. The affected persons image (particular part of the body. Eg. Leg) is compared with the dataset. The dataset contains the collection of images that contains both normal and Peripheral arterial disease affected images. The CNN classifier compares with the dataset and shows that the given input image is in normal stage or it is affected by the Peripheral Artery disease. The accuracy level is high. This methodology helps to find the disease in earlier stage
