1 When to screen for PAD? Prof. Dr.Tine De Backer Prof. Dr. Jean-Claude Wautrecht

2 How do we define asymptomatic PAD? A. ABI < 1 B. ABI < 0.9 C. ABI < 0.8 D. ABI > 1

3 How do we define asymptomatic PAD? A. ABI < 1 B. ABI < 0.9 C. ABI < 0.8 D. ABI > 1

4 Which % of the common population has A. < 1% asymptomatic PAD? B. 10%-20% C. >20% D. 5-10%

5 Which % of the common population has A. < 1% asymptomatic PAD? B. 10%-20% C. >20% D. 5-10%

6 Prevalence 3-10% total population has asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease (ABI<0.9) 1/4 tot 1/3 is symptomatic Increases with age Prognosis is independent of complaints (cardiovascular!)

9 Prevalence (%) Gender Differences in the Prevalence of PAD Women Men 6880 Consecutive Patients (61% Female) in 344 Primary Care Offices 0 < >85 Age (years) Adapted from Diehm C. Atherosclerosis. 2004;172: with permission from Elsevier.

10 Prognosis in PAD determined by A. cardiovascular events B. limb amputation C. cancer D. lung disease

11 Natural History of PAD Age > 50 years Limb Morbidity Cardiovascular Morbidity / Mortality Stable Claudication 70-80% Worsening Claudication 10-20% Critical Limb Ischemia Nonfatal CV Events 20% Mortality 15-30% 1-2% CV Causes 75% Non CV Causes 25%

14 Defining a Population At Risk for Lower Extremity PAD Age less than 50 years with diabetes, and one additional risk factor (e.g., smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension, or hyperhomocysteinemia) Age 50 to 69 years and history of smoking or diabetes Age 70 years and older Leg symptoms with exertion (claudication) or ischemic rest pain Abnormal lower extremity pulse examination Known atherosclerotic coronary, carotid, or renal artery disease Positive Edinburgh questionnaire

15 Most important risk factor for PAD A. Cholesterol B. Diabetes mellitus C. Smoking D. Hypertension

16 Risk factors >> Smoking Diabetes Arterial Hypertension Hypercholesterolemia Renal Insufficiency Hyperhomocysteinemia CRP

17 Fontaine Classification I : no complaints II: pain with exercise = claudicatio intermittens IIa: > 200 m/250 m IIb: < 200 m/250 m III: pain at rest IV: trophic lesions

18 Rutherford Classification Degree Category Clinical 0 0 Asymptomatic I 1 Mild claudication I 2 Moderate claudication I 3 Severe claudication II 4 Ischemic rest pain II 5 Minor tissue loss, non-healing ulcus III 6 Major tissue loss > metatarsal level, functional foot loss Rutherford RB, J Vasc Surg 1997; 26:

19 62 year old smoker, pain in legs for 5 months What will you ask?

20 History When pain?: after how many meters walking, when walking in a hurry or uphill? Rest pain? Left leg right leg - bilateral? Where?: buttocks, upper legs, calfs How does the pain disappear? DD: orthopedic, back pain, neurogenic

21 Buttock claudication Thigh claudication Leg claudication Sole claudication

22 Claudication pain improves with A. Elevation of the leg B. Bending forward C. Standing still D. Laying down

24 Vascular review of symptoms 1.Exertional impairment 2.Wound healing 3. Leg or feet pain 4. Abdominal pain 5. Family history 6. Coronary artery disease 7. Cerebrovascular disease

32 Doppler ABI meting

33 ABI is A. SBP arms/sbp legs B. DBP arms/dbp legs C. SBP legs/sbp arms D. DBP legs/dbp arms

34 Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) ABI = Ankle systolic pressure Brachial systolic pressure Measure ankle and brachial systolic pressures with Doppler Use highest arm and each ankle pressures 1. TASC Working Group. Int Angiol 2000; 19 (suppl): Vascular Disease Foundation, Available at:

35 Doppler Measurement of pressure and registration of curve Ankle-Brachial index (ABI) Normal: Pressure Legs > Pressure Arms: ABI > 1 > 0.9 : still normal : mildly diminished : moderately diminished <0.5: strongly diminished Sensitivity of the test after exercise (walking test or tiptoeing) = Exercise ABI Abnormal ABI is independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality (RR~4) and cerebrovascular diseases (RR~2)

38 Cave: Doppler: ABI Resting value can be false negative Normal to increased ABI if calcified vessels Non compressible vessels in diabetes False normal ABI with iliac stenosis: repeat immediately after walking/ knee bending ABI >1,40 (calcifications) (>1.30) TBI: Toe Brachial Index (< 0.70: PAD)

39 ABI A high level of specificity ( %) and accuracy ( %) was reported for an ABI 0.90 in detecting 50% stenosis, but there were different levels of sensitivity. Sensitivity was low, especially in elderly individuals and patients with diabetes. The test of ABI 0.90 can be a simple and useful tool to identify PAD with serious stenosis, and may be substituted for other non-invasive tests in clinical practice Sensitivity ~79% Specificity ~96% Ultrasound Med Biol 1996; Vasc Med Oct;15(5):361-9

40 Usefulness ABI Confirms clinical suspicion of PAD Diagnosis in asymptomatic patients DD other causes of leg pain Prognostic information: < 0.9: RR cardiovascular mortality ~3-6 The lower ABI, the worse prognosis Strong correlation with coronary and cerebrovascular disease Risk stratification when increased risk profile

41 Total Mortality (%) Association Between ABI and All-Cause Mortality* Risk increases at ABI values below 1.0 and above 1.3 N= < >1.40 (n=156) (n=141) (n=186) (n=310) (n=709) (n=1750) (n=1578) (n=696) (n=156) (n=66) Baseline ABI Age range=mid- to late-50s; ABI=ankle-brachial index; *Median duration of follow-up was 11.1 (0.1 12) years.
