  1. “Diabetic foot” Sensory Autonomic Motor

  2. Diabetic foot ulceration • Neuropathic: 45-60% • Purely ischaemic: 10% • Mixed neuroischaemic: 25-40%

  3. Diabetes and PADSpectrum of disease • Intermittent claudication • Rest pain • Ulceration/gangrene • Incidental/Screening

  4. Intermittent claudication

  5. Intermittent Claudication • Prevalence: 5.3% in patients aged 45-74yrs • Quality of life: Significantly impaired • Limb Outlook: Relatively benign 10% require intervention to prevent limb loss 1% per year require amputation • Life expectancy: 2-4 X ↑ mortality

  8. Intermittent Claudicationand diabetes • Prevalence: 2 x ↑ • Diabetics – 20% of PAD population • Limb Outlook: Worse • 2x ↑ rest pain, 6x ↑gangrene • 80% of amputations occur in diabetics • Life expectancy: 8 x ↑ mortality

  9. Diagnosis: History • Intermittent claudication cramp like pain in muscles Location: buttock, thigh, calf ,foot occurs on exercising relieved by rest • Atypical symptoms are common

  10. Diagnosis – clinical examination • Examination of pulses Peripheral pulses- HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE • Rotterdam study 60% inaccurate

  11. Pulses & PAD • Collins 206, 403 pts screened • PAD prevalence :16.6% • Sensitivity of a non detectable pedal pulse -18% • Specificity: 98% • Post tibial pulse: sensitivity 33%, specificity 66% ( Brealey S et al) • Probability of agreement of an absent pedal pulse between experienced examiners : 0.49-0.59 (Marinelli et al)

  12. Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI)

  13. Ankle pressure (mm Hg) Brachial pressure (mm Hg) ABPI = Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) Value <0.9 indicates PAD

  14. Figure 1.5 ABPI – DIAGNOSIS & PROGNOSIS McKenna et al, atherosclerosis, 1991

  15. ABPI • Reliable • Positive predictive value -95% • Negative predictive value-99% • But a normal ABPI at rest and classical symptoms may indicate need for exercise ABPI • ESSENTIAL FOR DIAGNOSIS • Do we have expertise in the community?

  16. Diabetes and ABPI • Medial calcification: non compressible (nc) arteries • ABPI in diabetics : 5-10% too high • Alternatives: Elevate foot Toe pressures

  17. Toe pressures • Cuff placed around proximal phalanx • Normal pressures are less than ankle pressures • average 24± 7 – 41± 17mmHg • Normal ratios compared to brachial 0.72-0.91

  18. CLAUDICATION: SURGICAL TREATMENT • First line : Prolong life Risk factor management • Improve symptoms Exercise Medical therapy Revascularisation

  19. Treatment • *Statin for all • *Screen for diabetes/ Glycaemic control • *BP control • Smoking cessation: NRT • Anti-platelet therapy • Increase exercise • ACE inhibitor (HOPE study) • Review: ? For revascularisation

  21. Diabetes and PAD • No clinical trials have been set up specifically to investigate glycaemic control. • Type 2 diabetes, glycaemia (HbA1C)  risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (1) • Each 1% difference in HbA1C  21% (95% CI 15-27%) change in the risk of diabetes-related death and a 14% reduction in fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction over 10 years (2) Turner RC, et al.. BMJ 1998; 316: 823-8. Stratton IM et al,. BMJ. 2000;321(7258):405-12.

  22. HOPE study • Effects of ramipril on patients with 1. symptomatic PAD 2. Asymptomatic PAD (ABPI≤ 0.9) plus an additional coronary risk factor were analysed. • Only 50% of the patients were defined as hypertensive. • In both groups-  ~ 25% reduction in the primary combined outcome of cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction or stroke with ramipril. • (ABPI) was measured unconventionally Ostergren J, et al. Eur Heart J 2004; 25: 17-24.

  23. Diabetes and PADSpectrum of disease • Intermittent claudication • Rest pain • Ulceration/gangrene • Incidental/Screening

  24. Severe limb ischaemia Rest pain>2/52, Tissue loss ABPI <0.5

  25. Severe limb ischaemia Rest pain>2/52, Tissue loss ABPI <0.5 Critical limb ischaemia Absolute ankle pressure <50mmHg

  26. Diabetic foot ulceration • Neuropathic: 45-60% • Purely ischaemic: 10% • Mixed neuroischaemic: 25-40%

  27. Figure 14.2

  28. Diabetes & foot ulcers • 15% develop a foot ulcer • 12-24% require amputation • Leading cause of lower limb amputation

  29. Will the ulcer heal? Study of patients with foot ulcers and toe amputations Non-heeling occurred in(Ramsey et al) • 92% of limbs with ankle pressure <80mmHg • But also in 45% of limbs with higher ankle pressures • 95% of limbs with toe pressures <30mmHg • But only in 14% of limbs with higher toe pressures • Toe pressures – greater prognostic value • PPV 67%, NPV 77% (Kaloni et al, 1999;Diabetes Care)

  30. Investigation of PAD in patients with diabetes • Duplex scan • Angiography • CT angiography • MRA/MRI

  31. Figure 1.2 Figure 1.2 A B C D

  32. Diabetes: distribution of PAD • Atherosclerosis in : • Classical sites: aorto-iliac, Fem artery • Medium-sized vessels- peroneal/tibial vessels Foot vessels spared

  33. Revascularisation • Angioplasty • By-pass

  34. Figure 3.8 Figure 3.8

  35. Amputation • Minor- infection, osteomyelitis Possible if good blood supply • Major – extensive soft tissue infection or Insufficient blood supply • 80% of amputees have diabetes

  36. When to refer ? • Symptoms: Intermittent claudication Rest pain ( nb neuropathy) • Signs: low/nc ABPIs Ulceration Gangrene • ? ? Screening – value for risk factor Mx

  37. Asymptomatic PAD • Relatively common • Associated with increased mortality • Can early treatment prevent events ? 2 Major trials will report ‘06/’07 • Potential to save lives using ABPI: a simplenon-invasive screening test
