Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Arterial Disease"

Non interventional study aimed to establish the prevalence of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD), defined as an ankle-brachial index (ABI) not above 0.90 in subjects with a moderate risk of cardiovascular disease, with no overt cardiovascular diseases nor diabetes mellitus.

A cholesterol/lipid profile screening project of high risk patients with hyperlipidaemia (secondary prevention) who already receive cholesterol-lowering therapy. Lipid profile and rate of patients who are treated to target (which is <100mg/dl for patients with high risk and <70mg/dl for patients at very high risk) are screened (office-based specialists). The doctors therapy decisions after the screening and possible reasons for these decisions will be documented. Our aim is to evaluate dosing habits, to evaluate how many patients are treated to their LDL-C target and to underline the importance of treating patients to their cholesterol targets.

The purpose of this study is to validate the screening potential of NT-proBNP for the identification of patients scheduled for vascular surgery who would benefit from additional pre-operative cardiac testing. All patients will have NT-proBNP concentrations measured pre-operatively. For low-intermediate risk patients only those with abnormal values will receive further cardiac testing; all high risk patients will be referred for additional testing.

Atherosclerosis, a condition in which fatty deposits build up along the inner walls of arteries, can occur throughout the body. The purpose of this study is to examine the possible genetic differences that may influence where atherosclerosis occurs.

To conduct several studies on the epidemiology of venous disease.

The aim of the proposed study is to define an independent parameter for the diagnostic assessment of the perfusion situation of the calf muscle based on Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) in a cross-sectional collective of healthy volunteers and patients with PAD. The gold standard is a previously performed angiography of the pelvic and femoral vessels based on routine diagnostics, this Imaging is not mandatory for healthy Control group (study group 1). An independent validation group (study group 2) will validate the results found in study group 1.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is caused by atherosclerosis of the artery and is classified into coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease, depending on the location of the artery and the target organs. However, since CVD share a similar pathophysiology and the probability of incidence of other CVD in CVD patients is very high. It is thought that CVD incidence and mortality can be reduced by predicting the degree of incidence of other CVD in CVD patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence and mortality of other CVD diseases in CVD patients.

This study will focus on determining; How accurate the test is in detecting poor circulation How it's accuracy compares to other commonly used tests, and Whether test results are linked to the chance of ulcer healing or amputation. Across 2 hospitals, 305 diabetic patients will be scanned using the focused ultrasound test as well as other commonly used tests to detect poor circulation. Their results will be compared to a full version of the ultrasound test to identify the most accurate.

Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that affects coronary, cerebral, and lower-extremity arteries. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the manifestation of atherosclerosis in the legs. Three different stages can be found: asymptomatic stage (stage 1), exercise ischemia stage (stage 2) and rest ischemia stage (stage 3). The risk factors for PAD are similar to those for coronary artery disease (CAD) and cerebrovascular disease (CBVD), like high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, dyslipidemia and obesity. But cigarette smoking is the single most important risk factor for the development and progression of PAD. PAD is a serious illness and an important predictor of cardiovascular disease with major medico-economic consequences. A low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with higher cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. In these vulnerable populations, there is an increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, particularly for smoking. The main objective of this study was to assess the level of precariousness in patients with symptomatic PAD and compare it to the level of precariousness in the general population. Patients were recruited from vascular medicine and surgery department of Grenoble university hospital or therapeutic education outpatient consultation. The analysis of socio-economic and environmental data resulted in: - EPICES score: (Evaluation of the Deprivation and Inequalities of Health in Healthcare Centers score). The EPICES score is a quick and validated questionnaire to assess precariousness at the individual level, developed by considering all the material and psychosocial dimensions of precariousness. Precariousness, according to the EPICES score, in the general population is estimated at 40%. - INSEE parameters. The investigators completed the EPICES score with more traditional indicators derived from The National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) collects, analyses and disseminates information on the French economy and society. The investigators collected the level of education and professional practice based on the nomenclature of socio-professional categories defined by INSEE. Cardiovascular risk factors were also collected to measure the links between the level of precariousness and cardiovascular risk factors.
