The purpose of the current study was to investigate the association between bone mineral density (BMD) scores and the prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in a large cohort of subjects who underwent arterial Doppler assessments and calcaneal bone densitometry. The study was performed using data obtained from Life Line Screening Inc. Subjects were self-selected and paid for screening tests. The prevalence of PAD was significantly higher in men with osteopenia (4.5%) and osteoporosis (10.9%) compared to men with normal BMD (3.0%) ( p<0.001). Osteopenia (odds ratio (OR) 1.3) and osteoporosis (OR 2.3) were found to be independent risk factors for the presence of PAD in men. The prevalence of PAD was significantly higher in women with osteopenia (4.8%) and osteoporosis (11.8%) compared to women with normal BMD (3.3%) ( p<0.001). Osteopenia (OR 1.15) and osteoporosis (OR 1.8) were found to be independent risk factors for the presence of PAD in women. The current study reports a strong association of abnormal BMD analysis with the prevalence of PAD, which persists even when controlling for age and associated atherosclerotic risk factors. Although the mechanism by which these two disease processes is related is not completely elucidated, the presence of osteoporosis should make clinicians aware of the possibility of occult PAD or associated atherosclerotic disease in appropriate patients.

Conceptual Difficulties

This article is concerned with the sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and other metrics associated with screening tests. It has direct origins in two previous articles. In this third article, the author of the first article writes about topics and issues that were addressed only minimally in his previous article and expands on topics raised by authors of the second article. In particular, attention is turned to wording and terminology that can be idiosyncratic and confusing with regard to screening versus diagnosis as well as to issues associated with reference (“gold”) standards and screening tests, and to the importance of cutpoints and prevalence in relation to metrics associated with screening tests. The primary aims are to help readers attain clarity about topics that they might have felt unsure about; gain reassurance about conceptual difficulties in the field that, once recognized for what they are, can become less problematic because it is possible to be confident about not being confident; and, where appropriate, adopt an appropriately skeptical attitude about screening tests and their associated metrics. Examples are drawn from the use of ankle–brachial and toe–brachial indices for identifying peripheral artery disease, although wider applicability is intended.

Technical Principles

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has advanced significantly in the past decade and provides a safe and non-invasive method of evaluating peripheral artery disease (PAD), with and without using exogenous contrast agents. MRI offers a promising alternative for imaging patients but the complexity of MRI can make it less accessible for physicians to understand or use. This article provides a brief introduction to the technical principles of MRI for physicians who manage PAD patients. We discuss the basic principles of how MRI works and tailor the discussion to how MRI can evaluate anatomic characteristics of peripheral arterial lesions.

Meta Analyses

Abstract. Both coronary and peripheral artery disease are representative atherosclerotic diseases, which are also known to be positively associated with presence of abdominal aortic aneurysm. It is still controversial, however, whether coronary and peripheral artery disease are positively associated with expansion and rupture as well as presence of abdominal aortic aneurysm. In the present article, we overviewed epidemiological evidence, i. e. meta-analyses, regarding the associations of coronary and peripheral artery disease with presence, expansion, and rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm through a systematic literature search. Our exhaustive search identified seven meta-analyses, which suggest that both coronary and peripheral artery disease are positively associated with presence of abdominal aortic aneurysm, may be negatively associated with expansion of abdominal aortic aneurysm, and might be unassociated with rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
