“…Similar observations could be made about the timing of brachial versus ankle systolic pressure measurements during rapid recovery following treadmill exercise. Since the effect of exercise on the percentage fall of ankle systolic pressure versus time may be different in AOD patients according to the topography of occlusions, 13 the ASP/BSP ratio was used in the present study as a semiquantrtative index to evaluate the degree of exercise testing and was not taken into consideration for correlation studies.…”

“…The ankle and arm pressures measured by the strain gauge technique correlate well with the brachial and ankle pressures measured using the Doppler ultrasound method (unpublished observations by author). Thus the ankle/arm ratio used here is equivalent to the pressure index of Yao [11] which relates well to the clinical severity of atherosclerotic disease in the legs.…”

Summary. This paper describes studies undertaken to determine the role of vascular disease in the development of foot lesions in diabetics, particularly those with neuropathy. The ratios of ankle/arm and toe/ankle blood pressure were used as indices of large and small vessel disease respectively. Diabetic patients with lesions had evidence of more large and small vessel disease than patients without lesions. Patients with neuropathic lesions had evidence of more small vessel disease than patients without lesions.

“…With the subjects in the supine position, the brachial occlusion pressure was 1 st recorded using the Doppler probe placed over the brachial artery at the elbow. Index values <0.90 were considered indicative of flowlimiting stenosis in the leg being examined 5,21 and, hence, subjects with PAD were identified.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] PAD may be identified non-invasively by the determination of the ankle-to-brachial systolic blood pressure (BP) index; values <0.9 are indicative of the presence of disease. [5][6][7] Similar to other sites of the atherosclerotic disease, dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypertension and use of tobacco are major risk factors for PAD. The inflammation process contributes to the progression of the atherosclerotic lesion.…”

eripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a severe atherosclerotic complication of diabetes mellitus and hypertension with a deleterious impact on the quality of life. Walking intolerance and amputation are major problems for subjects with PAD. Moreover, this is associated with an increased cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. People with PAD are more than 4 times likely to die of any cause over 2 years from diagnosis than those without this condition. [1][2][3][4] PAD may be identified non-invasively by the determination of the ankle-to-brachial systolic blood pressure (BP) index; values <0.9 are indicative of the presence of disease. [5][6][7] Similar to other sites of the atherosclerotic disease, dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypertension and use of tobacco are major risk factors for PAD. The inflammation process contributes to the progression of the atherosclerotic lesion. Considering that underlying mechanisms of peripheral and coronary artery diseases are common, similarities in dietary risk factors for both conditions would be expected. 8 Cohort and cross-sectional studies showed a high risk of PAD among subjects with a low intake of dietary antioxidants (eg, carotenoids, and vitamins C and E) or with low circulating levels of these substances. 7,9,10 However, PAD has received less attention in nutrition research, perhaps because its non-fatal presentation becomes symptomatic at a more advanced age compared with other forms of atherosclerosis, such as coronary heart disease and stroke. 11 Epidemiological studies have detected an inverse association between fiber consumption and PAD. 3 This finding is quite plausible as soluble fiber intake was shown to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels. In addition to having a favorable impact on total and LDL-cholesterol and fasting insulin, cereal fiber has been inversely associated with cardiovascular risk. The type of dietary fat consumed has been closely related to atherosclerotic diseases, including PAD. 12 The replacement of saturated fatty acids by mono-or polyunsaturated fatty acids was shown to reduce significantly total and LDL-cholesterol levels. Some evidence suggests that resistance to lipid oxidation could be improved with a diet that has a high content of antioxidants, thus improving the dietary fatty acid composition. 12 The Western diet, which is often characterized by a low content of complex carbohydrates and is rich in animal fat, plays a role in the epidemics of obesity and related diseases, which are also found in migrants from Asian countries. [13][14][15] However, we did not know whether any component of their usual diet would be associated with PAD, as diagnosed by the ankle-to-brachial systolic BP index.
