Exercise training in patients with peripheral vascular disease
Patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) suffer from the symptom of intermittent claudication and are walking intolerant. However, it is not clear what contributes to walking intolerance in patients with PVD.

Physiological effects of exercise in patients with peripheral vascular disease
… exercise training in patients with lower-limb vascular disease.</p> <p>The main aim of the studies in Section 1 of this thesis was to investigate potential mechanisms by which arm-crank exercise training evokes improved walking performance in patients with intermittent claudication. In Study 1, …

Total Plasma Homocysteine, Vitamins, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Peripheral Vascular Disease
… independent risk factor in the genesis of vascular diseases. There are few data on the relationship between homocysteine and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), peripheral vascular disease (PVD), and the effect of vitamin B<sub>12</sub> and folic acid blood levels on plasma homocysteine …

Thromboelastography in the assessment of coagulation changes in peripheral vascular disease
… changes in coagulation in patients with peripheral vascular disease(PVD) have consistently reported activation of coagulation based on measurement of raised levels of markers of activation of coagulation(clot formation), decreased fibrinolysis (breakdown of fibrin), platelet activation …

Early-Stage Research and Design of a Diagnostic Sensor for Peripheral Vascular Disease
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a blood circulation disorder that involves the narrowing and blocking of arteries in the lower extremities of the body. Symptoms of PVD include pain and restricted mobility, and as the disease progresses, it can lead to high risk of heart attack and stroke. PVD …

Investigation of cystathionine β-synthase as a cause of mild hyperhomocysteinaemia in patients with peripheral vascular disease
… established risk factor for the development of vascular disease and is caused by a variety of defects in the metabolism of methionine as well as dietary deficiencies of the vitamin cofactors (B6, B12 and folate) of the enzymes involved in methionine metabolism. Cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) is …

Risk of Lower Extremity Amputation Revision in Patients with Peripheral Vascular Disease Adjusting for a Competing Risk of Death
… event-free mortality rates for patients with peripheral vascular disease undergoing LEA, and develop predictive models for LEA revision and reamputation adjusting for a competing risk of death. Methods: This was a retrospective review of the prospectively collected Vascular Quality Initiative …

Altered Hemodynamic Control in the Skeletal Muscle Microcirculation in the Metabolic Syndrome: The Emergence of a new Attractor
Peripheral vascular disease is a pathological disease state whereby the peripheral vascular system becomes progressively limited in its ability to adequately perfuse extremities despite increases in metabolic demand. One of the primary risk factors for development of peripheral disease is the …

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm – Different Aspects on Screening
… aneurysm (AAA) is a hideous life threatening disease that most often is asymptomatic until it ruptures. Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) is a painful and serious predicament with a mortality of 80-90%. Half of the patients die before arriving to hospital, leaving family members in …

Quality of Hospital Discharge Abstract Databases over Time
… Project for Outcome Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease (APPROACH) database. We calculated sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for nine patient comorbidities from 2002 to 2013. Results: 63 483 patients were linked between DAD and APPROACH. DAD coding …

Missed opportunities for the detection of abdominal aortic aneurysms : a retrospective study of eighteen patients presenting with a ruptured or acute symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm
… by factors such as hypertension, angina and peripheral vascular disease. If the condition is diagnosed electively, the mortality rate is reduced to less than 5 percent. The researcher obtained the records of 18 patients who had presented to the vascular service at the New Kingsbury Hospital …

Liquid crystal thermography in neuropathic assessment of the diabetic foot.
Primary aetiologic factors of diabetic foot disease include peripheral neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease. Assessment of circulation, neuropathy, and foot pressure is employed routinely to determine the risk of foot ulceration in the patient with diabetes mellitus. Routine neuropathic …
