NCT01452165

Brief Summary

The main purposes of this study are:

  • to describe the prevalence and degree of reduced left ventricular function and hypertrophy in patients with peripheral arterial disease in comparison to controls from the general population,
  • to evaluate factors of importance to left ventricular dysfunction and hypertrophy in patients with peripheral arterial disease, and
  • to assess the impact of cardiac function and left ventricular hypertrophy on long-term prognosis in patients with peripheral artery disease.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (cross-sectional outcome measure)

    LVEF obtained by echocardiographic biplane disk summation method. In the cross-sectional study, the mean value of LVEF and the prevalence of reduced LVEF (LVEF \< 50%) in the patient group will be compared to the control group.

    baseline

  • Cardiovascular events (longitudinal outcome measure)

    Cardiovascular events obtained from the Swedish National Causes of Death register and the Swedish National In-patient register. The registers are linked to the patients by the unique personal identification number assigned to each swedish resident.

    5-10 years

  • Left ventricular mass (cross-sectional outcome measure)

    Left ventricular mass obtained by 2-dimensional echocardiography according to the American Society of Echocardiography.

    baseline

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Wall motion score index (WMSI)

    baseline

  • Echocardiographic left ventricular filling variables
