Objective We sought to compare the association of categorized ankle–brachial index (ABI)
with mortality and complications of diabetes in persons with no symptoms of peripheral …

Background To investigate the prevalence of vascular calcification based on the ankle‐
brachial index (ABI) value and analyse the risk factors for vascular calcification in the …

Background Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and arterial stiffness (AS) may be
hypertension-mediated vascular lesions. Both are determined by an abnormal ankle …

Introduction Little is known about the relationship between arterial stiffness and
cardiovascular target organ damage (TOD) in the general population. The aim was to …

Purpose Emerging evidence suggested that metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver
disease (MAFLD) was significantly associated with atherosclerotic diseases. Atherosclerosis …

Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) generally occurs as a result of progressive
narrowing of arteries within the lower extremities and is a manifestation of systemic …

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is the most common target organs damage in the
hypertension patients. Abnormal low (≤ 0.9) or high (≥ 1.40) ankle brachial index (ABI) are …

As hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) are commonly associated, hypertensive
individuals should be regularly screened for diabetes and vice versa, possibly on an annual …

Hypertension is a risk factor for peripheral arterial disease. Hypertension contributes to the
pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, the underlying pathological process of peripheral vascular …

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) were generally found to have two to four times of the
risk to develop cardiovascular events compared to those without DM. Accurate …
