Using an Ankle-Brachial Index to Diagnose PAD and ED
Introduction: erectile dysfunction (ed) affects more than 150 million men worldwide, with deleterious effects on quality of life. Ed is known to be associated with ischemic heart disease but the impact of ed in patients with peripheral arterial disease (pad) is unknown. We assessed the prevalence and severity of ed in patients with pvd. Methods: following ethical approval, sequential male patients diagnosed with pad over a 1-year period following diagnosis of intermittent claudication. The patient demographics and comorbidities were recorded, with the international index of erectile function (iief-5) questionnaire used to grade severity of ed.
Computed tomographic angiography and severity of stenosis in the proximal vessels and internal pudendal arteries were correlated using a modified bollinger matrix scoring system.
You should see a gp if you experience recurring leg pain when exercising. Many people mistakenly think this is just part of growing older, but there's no reason why an otherwise healthy person should experience leg pain. Pad is usually diagnosed through a physical examination by a gp, and by comparing the blood pressure in your arm and your ankle. A difference between the 2 may indicate pad and is called the ankle brachial pressure index (abpi).

Our study was designed as a prospective cohort study. The study protocol was approved by the local ethics committee, and all the patients signed an informed-consent agreement form. Patients also gave consent for the publication of surgery photographs and cta images. In this study, penile revascularization surgery was performed on 78 patients with ed of organic origin between june 2014 and september 2018. The mean age of the patients was 47. 17 ± 13. 26 (23–69) years. The patients were divided into three age groups: group 1 (20–40 years), group 2 (41–60 years), and group 3 ( 60 years). According to their anamnesis, there were diabetes in 15 cases, smoking in 18 cases, hyperlipidemia in 11 cases and cardiovascular disease in 9 cases.
