The Combination of the Ankle Brachial Index and Brachial Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity Exhibits a Superior Association with Outcomes in Diabetic Patients

Objective Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and peripheral arterial disease are classified as having very high cardiovascular risks. We therefore sought to determine whether assessments of the ankle brachial index (ABI) and brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) together exhibited a...

Zusammenfassung:	Objective Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and peripheral arterial disease are classified as having very high cardiovascular risks. We therefore sought to determine whether assessments of the ankle brachial index (ABI) and brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) together exhibited a superior association with the outcomes of T2DM. Methods A retrospective analysis of patients receiving ABI and baPWV during the period 2005-2007 was performed. Patients A total of 452 subjects were enrolled and followed-up for a mean 5.8 years after being grouped according to the ABI (
