Atherosclerosis Affects up to 10% of the Western population older than 65 years Expected to increase 22% by the year 2040 Population > 65 years Expected to have a huge financial impact on medicine. Using claudication is used as an indicator 2% of the population aged 40-60 years 6% of the population older than 70 years
Ischemic Ulcers
Prevalence of PAD PAD prevalence rates by noninvasive testing: 2.5% at ages 40 to 59 years 8.3% at ages 60 to 69 years 18.8% at ages 70 to 79 years Prevalence has been shown to be higher in men than in women Critical Limb Ischemia 1% > 70 years Criqui MH, Denenberg JD, Langer RD, Fronek A.

Death Rates By Disease The likelihood of a diabetic being dead five years after a amputation is nearly 50%. This is more than double the chance of death from prostate or breast cancer. Brem H, et al; Protocol for treatment of Diabetic Foot ulcers Am J Surg 2004 187 S pp 1-10
PAD Comorbid Conditions Cerebrovascular Disease CVD is present in 50-75% of PAD patients, 5% overlap between PAD, CAD, and CVD in men and women aged 62 years and older. Intermittent Claudication and Mortality Rate 5 year mortality 30% 10 year Mortality 50% 15 year mortality rates 70% Cardiovascular cause estimated to be responsible for 70% to 80% of deaths Criqui MH, Denenberg JO, Langer RD, Fronek A.

Ulcer Characteristics Location Typically distal Appearance +/- necrosis +/- dry Typically shallow Pain Typically painful
Vascular Evaluation Wound Care Clinic Physical Examination
Vascular Assessment: Pulses
Palpable Pulses! In patients with PAD (as detected by ABI) 74% had a palpable pulse More than two thirds of the patients within the study group with evidence PAD had a palpable pulse The sensitivity of a non-palpable pulse for the diagnosis of PAD was 26% Pulse palpation is not sensitive for the detection of PAD when compared to ABI
Vascular Evaluation Wound Care Clinic Physical Examination Ankle/brachial index (ABI) Toe Brachial Index (TBI) Transcutaneous oxygen tension (TCOM) Skin Perfusion Pressure (SPP)
Vascular Assessment: ABI Ankle-Brachial Index Index = Highest of DP or PT pressures Highest of R or L Brachial Pressures Calculated For Each Leg Separately
Vascular Assessment: ABI Ankle-Brachial Index < 0.9 suggests atherosclerotic vascular disease with 95% sensitivity and 99% specificity Falsely elevated when arteries heavily calcified as is seen in diabetes Baumgartner I, Schainfeld R, Graziani L. Management of peripheral vascular disease. Annu Rev Med. 2005;56:249-72 Guo X, Li J, Pang W, Zhao M, Luo Y, Sun Y: Sensitivity and specificity of ankle-brachial index for detecting angiographic stenosis of peripheral arteries. Circ J 2008, 72:605-10.
Vascular Assessment: TCOM
TCOM Clinical Guidelines TCOM > 40 mmhg in Diabetic Patient predicts likelihood of healing TCOM > 30 mmhg in Non-Diabetic Patient predicts likelihood of healing Identifies islands of ischemia in extremity TCOM can be used to measure response to oxygen during hyperbaric therapy
SPP Clinical Guidelines Skin Perfusion Pressure A distal arterial perfusion test Utilizes laser Doppler to evaluate reactive hyperemia Measures in millimeters of mercury (mmhg) the pressure at which blood flow first returns to capillaries following controlled release of occlusion SPP value is highly effective in detecting PAD, predicting healing potential and disease severity.
SPP Clinical Guidelines Sensilase Capillary occlusion Diamond marks: Return of blood flow SPP value Controlled cuff release
