Abstract
In Conclusion
Paper I. In patients undergoing aorto-iliac angiography, no effects of the procedure
were seen upon inflammatory mediators. On the other hand, angiography influenced
markers of platelet activation in these patients.
Paper II. The incidence of CLI in southern Sweden is 38/100 000 subjects/year.
Both medical risk factors for atherosclerosis and concomitant cardiovascular disease
are common among patients with CLI. Furthermore, medical risk-factor
treatment in these high-risk patients is suboptimal in relation to current recommendations.
Patients with CLI need to be evaluated and treated by physicians with
knowledge of and interest for treatment of risk factors for atherosclerosis.
Papers III-IV. Of Swedish CLI patients, 24 % die during the first year after
hospitalisation. Inflammatory markers, especially neopterin and TNF-?, independently
predict 1-year mortality in CLI, and are related to indices of cardiac dysfunction.
Paper V. Diabetes in CLI is often combined with renal impairment and more
often with infra-inguinal atherosclerosis. The inflammatory markers TNF-? and
neopterin are increased in diabetic patients with CLI as compared to non-diabetic
patients with CLI.
