“…In PXE patients, arterial calcification mass was quantified on CT scans. The ankle brachial index (ABI) after treadmill test was used to analyze PAD, defined as ABI < 0.9, and the Fontaine classification was used to distinguish symptomatic and asymptomatic PAD. …”

“…Relative to DM-noPAD controls, plasma FABP4 levels in DM-PAD patients were noted to be inversely correlated with the ankle brachial index (ABI; r= −0.374, p-value < 0.001). The diagnostic ability of FABP4 was investigated using receiver operator curves (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC) analysis. …”

“…BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: When the femoral approach for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is limited, trans-brachial or-radial access is an alternative. However, transbrachial insertion of a 9Fr (outer diameter [OD]) balloon guide catheter (BGC) into the carotid artery is not feasible. …”

“…After adjusting for age, age squared and other conventional cardiovascular risk factors, an ePWV value of ≥10 m/s or each ePWV increase by 1 m/s increased (P < 0.01) the risk for CVDs by 32% (Hazard ratio (HR):1.32; 95% confidence interval (CI):1.23–1.42) and 22% (HR:1.22; 95%CI:1.18–1.27), respectively, and increased the risk for all-cause death significantly (P < 0.01) by 28% (HR:1.28; 95%CI:1.20–1.37) and 10% (HR:1.10; 95%CI:1.07–1.13), respectively. The mean brachial-ankle PWV, measured in 43,208 individuals, was 15.30 ± 3.51 cm/s, with a mean difference of 6.45 m/s (95% limits of agreement:1.24–11.7) to the ePWV. …”
