Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation01:21

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

649
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction

593
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) predominantly results from atherosclerosis, which involves the accumulation of fatty deposits, or plaques, within the walls of arteries. This causes them to narrow and harden, significantly reducing blood flow. PAD predominantly affects the legs, particularly the arteries supplying the thighs and calves. In rare cases, it may involve other arteries, including those in the arms.Etiology of PAD:The principal cause of PAD is atherosclerosis, which results from fatty...

Atherosclerosis II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Tests

732
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disorder that leads to the thickening and narrowing of arterial walls due to plaque buildup. This condition can cause various symptoms depending on the arteries affected:Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): This condition affects the coronary arteries and may lead to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath (dyspnea), heart attacks, and other heart disease symptoms.Cerebrovascular Disease: This affects blood flow to the brain, causing transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)...

Peripheral Artery Disease IV: Nursing Management

593
 The nursing management of a patient with peripheral artery disease (PAD) begins with a thorough assessment of the patient’s health history and clinical manifestations.AssessmentHealth History: Evaluate the patient’s history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, family history of cardiovascular issues, and lifestyle factors such as dietary patterns, smoking, and physical activity.Physical Examination:Assess the affected extremity for decreased or absent peripheral pulses,...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care01:27

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

545
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Peripheral Artery Disease V: Postoperative Nursing Management

561
During the postoperative period, it is crucial to focus on maintaining circulation, identifying and managing potential complications, and planning for discharge.Nursing AssessmentVital signs monitoring: Regularly monitor vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature, to detect early signs of complications such as bleeding and infection.Circulation assessment: Monitor pulses, perform Doppler assessments, and check capillary refill, color, temperature, and...

Summary

Onychodystrophy, a nail deformity, may signal early peripheral artery disease (PAD). This finding allows for prompt intervention to manage PAD progression in individuals with abnormal ankle-brachial index measurements.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Geriatrics

Background:

  • Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is prevalent, especially in the elderly, significantly impacting quality of life in advanced stages.
  • Early detection of PAD is crucial for effective management and improved patient outcomes.
  • Onychodystrophy, a nail plate deformity, can stem from fungal infections or inflammatory conditions, and its presence is easily assessed via nail inspection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential of onychodystrophy as an early indicator of asymptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD).
  • To correlate the presence of nail deformities with abnormal ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Recruited 102 self-reported healthy participants for the study.
  • Performed ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurements to assess PAD.
  • Conducted visual inspection of toenails to identify onychodystrophy.

Main Results:

  • Sixty-seven participants exhibited abnormal ABI measurements, indicating potential PAD.
  • Among those with abnormal ABI, 39 individuals were diagnosed with onychodystrophy.
  • A statistically significant association was found between onychodystrophy and abnormal ABI measurements.

Conclusions:

  • Onychodystrophy may serve as an early, accessible marker for asymptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD).
  • Identifying onychodystrophy can facilitate prompt intervention, potentially ameliorating or halting PAD progression.
  • Nail inspection combined with ABI measurement offers a noninvasive approach for early PAD detection.
