Aortoiliac occlusive disease, also known as Leriche´s Syndrome, is the occlusion of the abdominal aorta in its infrarenal segment, with atherosclerosis being the main cause. The most frequent risk factors are: hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and smoking. The case of a patient with risk factors for atherosclerotic disease who was admitted due to pain in the lower limbs, intermittent claudication, discoloration of the foot and absence of pulses in the lower limbs is described. Clinically, is characterized by the classic triad: Claudication, erectile dysfunction and decreased distal pulses. Due to their chronicity, many are usually asymptomatic due to the collateral circulation they develop, which leads to underreporting. Vascular studies such as: Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography angiography and aortic angiography can help confirm the diagnosis and location of stenosis, always having clinical suspicion as a fundamental pillar.

- Abstract
Peripheral obstructive arterial disease is a clinical entity closely related to frequent pathologies in our environment, which if not identified and treated early can cause serious complications including the development of chronic ulcers, intermittent claudication and amputation. The measurement of the ankle-brachial index by portable Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive, fast, simple, reliable technique of great interest that offers high sensitivity and specificity to diagnose this disease. Objectives: the present study aims to determine the prevalence of peripheral obstructive arterial disease as determined by the ankle-brachial index in adults over 60 years of age attending the Capacachi Health Center, from October 1 to December 31, 2020. Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective study was carried out; the ankle-brachial index was calculated in 176 patients over 60 years of age; patients with deep and/or superficial venous thrombosis, phlebitis, lymphangitis, with open wounds in the area where the echo-Doppler transducer was placed, who had undergone peripheral arterial revascularization or patients taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents were excluded. Results: of the 176 patients studied, 73 patients had an ankle-brachial index <0.9 and therefore had the disease. The prevalence of peripheral obstructive arterial disease was 41.48%. Conclusions: the study established that the ankle-brachial index is useful as a screening method to diagnose peripheral obstructive arterial disease in primary care centers, allowing us to perform secondary prevention at a low cost and in a bloodless manner.

- Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that affects a number of vascular beds. Clin ical manifestations whether acute or chronic (acute myocardial infarction, stable angina, intermittent claudication, cerebrovascular disease, among others) start after long periods of progression; so it may present subclinically in patients with coronary ar tery disease. What is particularly interesting about this form of prese ntation is that within a series of cases with multivessel disease, associated with an ankle-brachial index (ABI)<0.9, after an acute coronary syndrome, we have ident ified, as an angiogr aphic finding, the presence of a coronary artery fistula to the right ventricle in a patient with very low ABI and clinical intermittent claudication. This fistula led to the symptoms that hampered cardiovascular rehabilitation. It is an infrequent disease characterized by chest pain; with low reporting (0.3 to 0.8%), as an incidental finding in coronary angiographies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Antecedentes: la enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP) es un trastorno oclusivo que disminuye el flujo sanguíneo arterial de las extremidades inferiores. El síntoma más común es la claudicación intermitente (CI). La CI afecta la capacidad de caminar de los pacientes, deteriorando su independencia funcional y, por tanto, empeorando su calidad de vida y salud cardiovascular general. Objetivo: examinar los efectos de un programa de marcha junto con ejercicio físico de fuerza como tratamiento en personas con enfermedad arterial periférica. Metodología: revisión bibliográfica a partir de las bases de datos de Pubmed, PEDro y ScienceDirect. Resultados: en los estudios analizados se observaron mejoras en la capacidad funcional, calidad de vida, función cardíaca y vascular, percepción de dolor, deterioro de la marcha y la adherencia al ejercicio físico. Conclusiones: un programa combinando de marcha junto con ejercicio físico de fuerza, presenta efectos beneficiosos siendo además un tratamiento seguro y adecuado. Background: peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an occlusive disorder that decreases arterial blood flow to the lower extremities. The most common symptom is intermittent claudication (IC). IC affects patients' ability to walk, impairing their functional independence and, therefore, worsening their quality of life and general cardiovascular health. Objective: to examine the effects of a walking program together with resistance exercise as a treatment in people with peripheral arterial disease. Methods: A literature review has been carried out in the Pubmed, PEDro and ScienceDirect databases. Results: In the analyzed studies, improvements were seen in functional capacity, quality of life, cardiac and vascular function, pain perception, walking deterioration and adherence to physical exercise. Conclusions: a program combining walking together with physical strength exercise has beneficial effects and is also a safe and adequate treatment. Key words: peripheral artery disease, claudication, aerobic exercise, walking, strength exercise.

- Abstract
Introduction: The ankle-brachial index provides a simple method to diagnose peripheral artery disease; its use allows identifying patients with intermittent claudication of the lower limbs who do not successfully complete a cardiovascular stress test, which hinders their inclusion in rehabilitation programs. Objective: To design a comprehensive rehabilitation program for patients with peripheral artery disease and ischemic heart disease. Method: An observational, descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study was carried out with 28 patients after an acute coronary syndrome and peripheral artery disease. A training program was designed and after a three months follow up results were compared with those at the beginning of the investigation. Results: Male predominance (67.8%), 17 of them (60.7%) had an ankle-brachial index less than 0.9 (p=0.002). The most affected age group was 55-59 years (35.7%). The primary diagnosis was acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation (42.85%). The most common risk factor was hypertriglyceridemia (82.1%). Smoking (75%; p=0.005) and diabetes mellitus (28.6%; p=0.001) were significantly associated with a ITB=0,9. After three months of supervised physical activity, the ankle-brachial index improved and increased time on exercise (4:21 vs. 10:9 minutes) and onset of pain (2:31 vs. 7:6 minutes). ** Conclusions: The introduction of supervised training programs for peripheral artery disease improves functional capacity of patients and their comprehensive evaluation, which favors joining cardiovascular rehabilitation programs.

Introducción y objetivos: El índice tobillo-brazo (ITB) es un indicador de enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP). El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la asociación entre la EAP medida con el ITB y el rendimiento cognitivo de individuos con sobrepeso u obesidad y síndrome metabólico. Métodos: Estudio transversal realizado con los datos basales del estudio PREDIMED-Plus, en el que se incluyó a un total de 4.898 participantes (tras excluir a aquellos sin medición de ITB) de entre 55 y 75 años, con sobrepeso u obesidad y síndrome metabólico. En la visita basal se midió el ITB según un protocolo estandarizado, así como otros factores de riesgo cardiovascular (diabetes mellitus, dislipemia e hipertensión arterial, entre otros). Para la evaluación del rendimiento cognitivo, se aplicaron diferentes pruebas validadas en población española (Mini-mental Test, test de fluencia verbal semántica y fonológica, test de valoración de memoria de trabajo, test del trazo y test del reloj). Para evaluar la asociación entre el ITB y el rendimiento cognitivo, se utilizaron modelos lineales generalizados. Resultados: El 3,4% de los participantes tenían EAP, definida por un ITB ≤ 0,9, y un 3,3%, calcificación arterial definida por un ITB ≥ 1,4. La EAP se asoció con la edad, la presión arterial sistólica y los indicadores de obesidad, mientras que la calcificación arterial se asoció también con obesidad y diabetes. Entre el rendimiento cognitivo y el ITB o la EAP, no se observaron asociaciones significativas. Conclusiones: En nuestra muestra la EAP aumenta con la edad, la presión arterial y los indicadores de obesidad. No se observa una asociación significativa entre el ITB, la EAP y el rendimiento cognitivo. Introduction and objectives: The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is an indicator of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The aim of this study was to assess the association between PAD, measured with the ABI, and cognitive function in persons with overweight or obesity and metabolic syndrome. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted with baseline data from the PREDIMED-Plus study, which included 4898 participants (after exclusion of those without ABI measurements) aged between 55 and 75 years, and with overweight or obesity and metabolic syndrome. At the baseline assessment, we measured the ABI with a standardized protocol and assessed the presence of other cardiovascular risk factors (eg, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension). Cognitive function was evaluated using several tests validated for the Spanish population (mini-mental state examination [MMSE], phonological and semantic verbal fluency test, WAIS-III working memory index [WMI], parts A and B of the trail making test (TMT), and clock drawing test). Generalized linear models were used to assess the association between the ABI and cognitive function. Results: Among the participants, 3.4% had PAD defined as ABI ≤ 0.9, and 3.3% had arterial calcification defined as ABI ≥ 1.4. PAD was associated with age, systolic blood pressure and obesity indicators, while arterial calcification was also associated with obesity and diabetes. No significant associations were observed between cognitive function and ABI or PAD. Conclusions: In our sample, the presence of PAD increased with age, blood pressure, and obesity. No significant association was observed between ABI, PAD, or cognitive function.

Antecedentes: el propósito del estudio es determinar la prevalencia y factores de riesgo de la enfermedad ateromatosa sistémica (cerebrovascular, coronaria, enfermedad arterial periférica) en pacientes ambulatorios mayores de 50 años, atendidos en la consulta externa de un servicio de Neurología en hospital de tercer nivel de atención. Métodos: el estudio es de tipo transversal y comprendió una muestra de los pacientes de 50 años y más, atendidos en la consulta externa del Servicio de Neurología del Hospital “Dr. Rafael Ángel Calderón Guardia”, durante los meses de febrero a marzo de 2011. Antecedentes demográficos, clínicos y biológicos (perímetro abdominal), fueron recolectados. El índice tobillo/brazo se empleó para detectar enfermedad arterial periférica. Resultados: se seleccionó 124 pacientes (57,7% hombres). La edad media grupal fue de 68,6 años (IC 95%:66,6-70,7). El 66,9% presentó enfermedad ateromatosa, en algún territorio vascular. En el 32% de los pacientes de la muestra se detectó enfermedad polivascular, es decir, afección de 2 o 3 territorios. Los factores de riesgo de ateromatosis presentes en esta población fueron: hipertensión arterial en un 71,7%, dislipidemia en un 62,3%, diabetes mellitus en un 32,8%, tabaquismo en un 37%, obesidad en un 17,5%. La medición por perímetro abdominal en hombres detectó un 27% de obesidad. En el grupo de las mujeres, un 69,6% eran obesas. El análisis de regresión logística multivariada identificó diferencias significativas en la prevalencia de los factores de riesgo, según el diferente subgrupo de pacientes. El control de estos factores de riesgo fue inadecuado en el 41% de los hipertensos, y en el 39% de los dislipidémicos; el 40% de los diabéticos no recibía tratamiento para su enfermedad. Conclusión: los factores de riesgo de aterosclerosis encontrados en la muestra fueron: hipertensión, diabetes mellitus y dislipidemia. La enfermedad sistémica o polivascular se encontró en la tercera parte de los pacientes. Además, se detectó un inadecuado control y seguimiento de estos. Background: The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence and risk factors of polyvascular disease in ambulatory patients older than 50 years, attending the outpatient clinic of the Neurology Department in a tertiary care center. Methods: It is a transversal study which included a sample of all patients, 50 years and older, attending the outpatient clinic of the Neurology Department of the Calderon Guardia Hospital between February and March 2011. Demographic, clinical and biological backgrounds (including waist circumference) were collected. The ankle-brachial index (ABI) was used to determine peripheral artery disease. Results: 124 patients were selected (57.7% men). The mean age of the group was 68.6 years (CI 95%:66.6-70.7). In the case of 66.9% of patients, they presented atheromatous disease in at least one vascular territory. Polyvascular disease was present in 32% of patients from the sample (2 or 3 territories were affected). The risk factors for atheromatosis in the study’s population were hypertension in 71.7%, dyslipidemia in 62.3%, diabetes mellitus in 32.8%, smoking in 37%, and obesity in 17.5% of patients. The data collected for waist circumference showed an incidence for obesity in 27% of men and 69.6% of women. The multivariate logistic regression analysis identified significant differences in the prevalence of risk factors among subgroups in the sample. Risk factor control was inadequate in 41% of patients with hypertension and in 39% of patients with dyslipidemia. As to diabetics, 40% of them did not receive any treatment for their condition. Conclusions: The risk factors for atherosclerosis found in the sample were hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia. Systemic atherosclerosis or polyvascular disease was present in 30% of patients. Also, an inadequate control and follow-up of this population was observed.

ARTERIAL diseases , *INTERMITTENT claudication , *ANKLE brachial index , *HEALTH of older people , *PLATELET aggregation inhibitors - Abstract
The peripheral arterial disease, as well as the coronary and cerebrovascular disease are the result of development of the atherotrombotic disease and therefore constitute an important health problem all over the world, as the main causes of morbi- mortality and discapacity in elderly. Intermittent claudication in the lower limbs is the most common clinical presentation. Many patients are aymptomatic so that this process is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. Diagnostics and treatment, are important since the peripheral artery disease is associated with increased mortality. Determining of the ankle-brachial index is especially useful as allows early diagnosis of peripheral artery disease. Expert guidelines consider antiplatelet agents as the first line drugs, mantaining aspirin as first option. In intolerancy, allergic or resistant cases, clopidogrel is indicated. The present review summarizes the peripheral artery disease physiophatology, sintomatology and clinical classification. Discusion of risk factors remarks its control as a clue measure in prevention strategy. It is also discused the appropiate diagnosis and pharmacological treatment for management. It is concluded that the best way to reduce the peripheral artery disease mortality and morbidity in elderly is based on prevention, risk factors control, healthy life style and suitable therapeutic management [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An observational and descriptive study of case series was conducted in 14 patients with aortoiliac peripheral artery disease, operated through direct vascular procedures at the Department of Angiology and Vascular Surgery of "Saturnino Lora Torres" Provincial Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January 2010 to October 2012, to characterize them according to some clinical and surgical parameters and evaluate the effectiveness of the surgical treatment. Among the main results it was obtained that the total number were men over 50 years of age in whom the Doppler ultrasound was selected as imaging technique; all patients with occlusions were smokers and 50% of them underwent bypass surgery, whereas all patients with aneurysms had hypertension and 62.5% of them underwent vascular replacement surgery. It was concluded that occlusive aortoiliac peripheral artery disease has an increasingly early onset, abdominal aortic aneurysms are not diagnosed early, and angiography and CT studies are needed to decide the surgical treatment, and surgical parameters such as time of aortic clamping, diuresis during clamping, urine output and surgical time had no serious implications in the postoperative period or survival of patients.

Objectives: Determine inter and intra observer variability of the ankle-brachial index measured by palpation using a standardized method (ITBp), and to correlate it with pulse palpation. Methods: 25 patients with risk factors for developing peripheral arterial disease were included in the study. Each observer performed 4 measurements of the ITBp as well as palpation of the peripheral pulse. Intra observer variability was tested with the student's t-test, and inter observer variability was tested with multivariate analysis of variance. Kappa statistics was used to determine the inter observer concordance of peripheral pulse palpation. Results: 64% of patients were male; mean age was 59.28 ± 10.6; 32% had diabetes mellitus, and 44% had hypertension. Kappa indexes for brachial and dorsalis pedis pulse were 1 and 0.8, respectively. Kappa indexes for posterior tibialis pulse measured by interns and attending physicians was 0.42 and 0.45, respectively. More experienced physicians had lesser overall differences in the intra observer measurements. No difference was observed in the inter observer measurements. Conclusions: Good inter observer correlation to measure ITBp was observed; indicating that using a standardized method reduces variability. A significant intra observer variability of 25% was observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Objective: to know the peripheral arterial disease (PAD) prevalence and its determinants in a nationwide survey in Mexican population. Methods: baseline ankle brachial index (ABI) measured by Doppler was performed in patients at high vascular risk for PAD. ABI between 1 and 1.3 was regarded as normal. ABI = 0.9 (a low ABI) was considered to be an indicator of PAD. ABI > 1.3 (a high ABI) was also considered abnormal, as an indirect index of artery calcification and stiffness. Results: a total of 5 101 patients were evaluated: 1 212 patients (23.8 %) had ABI = 0.9, and 431 (8.4 %) > 1.3 (including 1 % with incompressible vessels). ABI = 0.9 was associated with age, arterial hypertension, diabetes, current smoking, dyslipidemia and previous vascular events. On the other hand, ABI > 1.3 was associated with male gender, diabetes, previous smoking habit and history of vascular events. A high proportion of patients (62.5 %) with established PAD, identified by a low ABI (= 0.9) were asymptomatic or with minimum symptoms at the time of their assessment. Conclusion: a significant prevalence of abnormal ABI was identified. ABI measurement by Doppler can help to identify patients who need intense secondary prevention and more aggressive treatment of vascular risk factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is mainly caused by atherosclerosis but also involves hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, which trigger oxidative stress and lead to vascular damage. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of PAD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and/or prediabetes and/or dyslipidemia, to identify some risk factors and to establish whether urinary levels of 8-isoprostane-f2α (an oxidative stress marker) are elevated in patients with PAD. Design: A cross-sectional, nonprobabilistic, convenience sampling study Materials and methods: The sample included 146 patients with DM2 and/or prediabetes and/ or dyslipidemias from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Risk factors, symptoms related to PAD, ankle-brachial index measurement and biochemical variables (HbA1c%, fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, creatinine and albuminuria) were recorded. Urine levels of 8-isoprostane-f2α were determined by ELISA. The 8-iso-PGF2α/creatine concentration were analyzed using the statistical package R. Risk factors were compared using ANOVA/ Kruskal-Wallis. ROC curves were generated to analyze the discriminant power of the biomarkers. The joint analysis of laboratory results and risk factors was performed using multivariate logistic regressions. Results: PAD was identified in 10 diabetic patients. Risk factors were smoking, dyslipidemia, poor metabolic control, overweight or obesity. There was no evidence of increased urinary 8-isoprostane-f2α in these subjects. Conclusions: A low prevalence of PAD was found in subjects with DM2. There was no evidence of increased 8-isoprostane-f2α measured by ELISA in patients with PAD. The extension of the study with different markers of oxidative stress and the use of other techniques is recommended (Acta Med Colomb 2019; 44. DOI: https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2019.1257). Resumen Introducción: la enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP) es causada principalmente por aterosclerosis e intervienen la hiperglucemia y dislipidemia que desencadenan estrés oxidativo y daño vascular. Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia de EAP en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) y/o prediabetes y/o dislipidemias, así como algunos factores de riesgo; también, establecer si los niveles urinarios de 8-isoprostano-f2α (marcador de estrés oxidativo) están elevados en pacientes con EAP. Diseño: estudio de tipo transversal, no probabilístico, de conveniencia. Material y métodos: la muestra comprendió 146 pacientes con DM2 y/o prediabetes y/o dislipidemias de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Se registraron factores de riesgo, síntomas relacionados con EAP, medida índice tobillo-brazo y variables bioquímicas (HbA1c%, glucemia basal, perfil lipídico, creatinina y albuminuria). Se determinaron niveles en orina de 8-isoprostano-f2α por ELISA. Los resultados de la concentración de 8-iso-PGF2α/creatinuria se analizaron mediante el paquete estadístico R. La comparación de factores de riesgo se analizó mediante ANOVA/Kruskal-Wallis. Se generaron curvas ROC para analizar el poder discriminante del biomarcador. El análisis conjunto de resultados de laboratorios y de factores de riesgo se realizó mediante regresiones logísticas multivariantes. Resultados: se evidenció prevalencia de EAP en 10 pacientes diabéticos. Como factores de riesgo se encontraron: fumar, dislipidemia, mal control metabólico, sobrepeso u obesidad. No se evidenció aumento del 8-isoprostano-f2α urinario en estos sujetos. Conclusiones: se encontró baja prevalencia de EAP en los sujetos con DM2. No se evidenció aumento del 8-isoprostano-f2α medido por ELISA en pacientes con EAP. Se recomienda ampliar el estudio con diferentes marcadores de estrés oxidativo y uso de otras técnicas.

Objetivos: Determinar la variabilidad del índice tobillo braquial palpatorio estandarizado (ITBp) inter e intra examinador y establecer la correlación de la palpación de los pulsos. Material y métodos: Se incluyeron 25 pacientes con factores de riesgo para desarrollar enfermedad arterial periférica. Cada examinador realizó 4 mediciones del ITBp así como la palpación de los pulsos. Para determinar la variabilidad intra examinador se usó la prueba de t Student y para la variabilidad inter examinador el análisis de multivariado de varianza. Se utilizó el índice Kappa (κ) para determinar la concordancia inter examinador en la palpación de pulsos. Resultados: El 64% de la muestra fue de sexo masculino con edad promedio global de 59,28 ± 10,6. El 32% tenía diabetes mellitus y el 44% hipertensión arterial entre otros. En los pulsos braquial y pedio los índices κ fueron 1 y 0,8 respectivamente. Para el tibial posterior el κ fue 0,42-0,45 entre internos y mιdicos. Uno de los examinadores presentσ un error estadνsticamente significativo en la diferencia intra examinador y los mαs experimentados fueron los de menor diferencia en promedio. En las diferencias inter examinador el error no fue significativo. Conclusiones: Existe una buena correlación inter examinador para medir el ITBp, esto nos indica que el uso de un método estandarizado reduce dicha variabilidad y también el error. Asimismo, se evidencia que sí existe variabilidad intra examinador en el 25%, la cual es significativa. Objectives: Determine inter and intra observer variability of the ankle-brachial index measured by palpation using a standardized method (ITBp), and to correlate it with pulse palpation. Methods: 25 patients with risk factors for developing peripheral arterial disease were included in the study. Each observer performed 4 measurements of the ITBp as well as palpation of the peripheral pulse. Intra observer variability was tested with the student’s t-test, and inter observer variability was tested with multivariate analysis of variance. Kappa statistics was used to determine the inter observer concordance of peripheral pulse palpation. Results: 64% of patients were male; mean age was 59.28 ± 10.6; 32% had diabetes mellitus, and 44% had hypertension. Kappa indexes for brachial and dorsalis pedis pulse were 1 and 0.8, respectively. Kappa indexes for posterior tibialis pulse measured by interns and attending physicians was 0.42 and 0.45, respectively. More experienced physicians had lesser overall differences in the intra observer measurements. No difference was observed in the inter observer measurements. Conclusions: Good inter observer correlation to measure ITBp was observed; indicating that using a standardized method reduces variability. A significant intra observer variability of 25% was observed.
