Polyvascular Subclinical Atherosclerosis: Correlation Between Ankle Brachial Index and Carotid Atherosclerosis in a Population-Based Sample

Abstract: We assessed the correlation between the biomarkers of lower limb atherosclerosis (eg, ankle-brachial index [ABI]) and of carotid atherosclerosis (eg, common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and presence of atherosclerotic plaque) in a population-based cohort from Girona (Northwest Spain) recruited in 2010. Ankle-brachial index and carotid ultrasound were performed in all participants. Generalized additive multivariable models were used to adjust a regression model of common carotid IMT on ABI. Logistic reg… Show more

“…More experimental studies, such as randomized controlled trials, are needed to verify these relationships. And limitation of this scoping review is the lack of measurement methods regarding cardiovascular fitness, such as flow-mediated dilation or brachial artery intima–media thickness [ 31 , 32 ]. Thus, no standardized measurements have been used to evaluate exercise interventions for CVD prevention.…”
