Abstract
Objectives Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is described as systemic atherosclerosis induced lesion of main organism arteries, except heart and brain arteries, which are associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Early diagnostic of PAD is important, cause more than half patients have no symptoms. The aim was to compare non-invasive PAD diagnostic methods in patients with atrial fibrillation and to evaluate their sensitivity and specificity. Materials and Methods A prospective follow-up study was performed over a 4-year period, in which 352 patients with cardiovascular disease were examined by non-invasive PAD diagnostic methods – ankle-brachial index and impedance plethysmography. These two tests were compared these and the relationship between the results of tests and chronic atrial fibrillation was evaluated. Results 78 (44,1%) women were diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease, 25 (33,3%) of them had no symptoms. The mean value of ABI in group with AF was 0,83 (± 0,28), while the mean value of ABI in group of women without this arrhythmia was 0,97 (± 0,28) (p <0,001). There was a statistically significant (p <0,001) decrease of ABI in the group of women older than 69 years – 0,87 (± 0,30) compared to ABI 1,07 (± 0,23) in women younger than 69 years. A statistically significant correlation was found between the decreased ABI and the prolongation of crest time (CT) - parameter used in impedance plethysmography - correlation coefficient r = –0,683, p <0,001. Conclusions There was a statistically significant reduction of ABI in the group of women with chronic AF compared to the sinus rhythm group. A statistically significant correlation was found between the parameters of impedance plethysmography and ABI – while ABI decreases the crest time increases; while ABI increases, alternating blood flow increases also. Impedance plethysmography with a sensitivity of 73% and a specificity of 96% is a possible alternative [...].
