Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a progressive condition that leads to stenosis and occlusion of the arterial bed and is a marker of systemic atherosclerosis. Smoking; type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most important risk factors of PAD. Overweight and obesity increase the risk of T2DM.This study was conducted to evaluate an association between anthropometric indices and cardiovascular risk factors with ankle-brachial pressure indices (ABPI) in newly detected T2DM.
Aims: To observe the association between the anthropometric index and cardiovascular risk factors with ABPI in newly detected T2DM patients evaluated by duplex color Doppler ... view moreĀ»
