Sensibilidad, especificidad y fiabilidad de la ecografía Doppler arterial en el diagnóstico de la isquemia crítica de los miembros inferiores con relación a la arteriografía

Peripheral arterial disease, type 2 diabetes and postprandial lipidaemia: Is there a link?

“…It has long been known that the sensitivity of the ABI to correctly diagnose PAD is considerably reduced in the presence of arterial media calcification and that, clinically, this calcification is associated with the presence of peripheral neuropathy [38,39] . Accordingly, in the presence of peripheral neuropathy it is recommended to use an alternative method, such as flow wave analysis using Doppler colour ultrasound [40,41] . In our experience this limitation is not negligible.…”
