Abstract
Patients with PAD and DM had higher incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events‐both fatal and non‐fatal‐than do non‐diabetic PAD patients. According to the old World Health Organisation definitions, hypertension was defined as a systolic blood pressure of >160 mmHg and/or a diastolic blood pressure of >95 mmHg, or as long as the patient was receiving antihypertensive medication at the time. When a patient's blood creatinine level was greater than 140 μmol/l, macro albuminuria (>200 μg/min), microalbuminuria (20‐200 μg/min), or both, nephropathy was diagnosed. Out of the 170 patients that were chosen, this study contained 146 whose case notes could be located. Their age was 64.83±11.2 years (mean±SD). With a length of 14.1±12.3 years, 68 patients (40%) had diabetes. Between patients with and without diabetes, there were no appreciable variations in the age and sex distribution, smoking history, incidence of intermittent claudication, or length of follow‐up following angiography. Compared to those without diabetes, diabetic patients with peripheral artery disease had worse arterial disease and a worse prognosis.
