Brief Summary

Background: .Atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with a high risk of mortality, coronary events and stroke. The distal localization is frequently associated with amputation. Patients from African origin have a higher prevalence of PAD independently of age and other risk factors. In Guadeloupe, French West Indies, infra popliteal localization is more frequent than in France continental associated with different risk factors (88% of hypertension, 2/3 of diabetes).

Purpose: Traditional risk factors of PAD are smoking diabetes, hypertension, high lipid levels, age, and family history of cardiovascular events. The role of novel risk factors in PAD has recently been shown: fibrinogen, CRP-us, homocysteine, interleukin 6, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, alkaline phosphatases, insulin resistance, uric acid, D dimer, vitamin D deficiency, HBA1C. Thus the purpose of the research is to study the role of novel risk factors in the occurrence of infrapopliteal PAD. The primary criterion is the HBA1C.

Detailed Description

In Guadeloupe, French West Indies, a high prevalence of distal (infra popliteal) PAD has been observed compared to France continental, the risk factors associated with the distal localization are diabetes and hypertension. Novel risk factors in PAD have been highlighted such as fibrinogen, CRP-us, homocysteine, interleukin 6, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, alkaline phosphatases, insulin resistance, uric acid, D dimer, vitamin D deficiency. HBA1 C is also an independent novel risk factor of PAD in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. It seems that risk factors are different according to the localization of the disease. Thus the aim of the research is to study the role of novel risk factors in the localization of PAD. The primary outcome is the HBA1C. The secondary outcome is the role of other risk factors in the localization of PAD. This is a cross sectional study. Patients with PAD diagnosed with systolic pressure index< 0.9 or toe systolic pressure < 85 mmHg or tissue oxygen saturation <65 mmHg or with stenosis > 50 % or occlusion will be proposed to participate in the study. If the culprit lesion is infra popliteal they will be included in group 1. If the culprit lesion is supra or popliteal they will be included in group 2. Patients will be informed of the study and the written informed consent will be obtained. Clinical and para clinical date will be taken on the same date (V0). Then the patient will have to go to the Pointe à Pitre hospital within one month for a second visit (V1) where blood and urinary samples will be taken. Interleukin 6 and insulin in non-diabetic and blood collection will specially be taken for the study.
