Zusammenfassung

Patienten mit peripherer Arteriosklerose und insbesondere solche mit Claudicatio intermittens haben ein deutlich erhöhtes Risiko für kardio- und zerebrovaskuläre Morbidität und Mortalität. Das Schicksal dieser Patienten wird weniger durch lokale Komplikationen im Bein als durch systemische Komplikationen im Bereich der koronaren und der zerebralen Gefäße geprägt. Durch Untersuchungen in der KORA-Studie 2004/2005 (F3), einer Nachuntersuchung der Teilnehmer der MONICA-Studie 1994/1995 (S3), werden wir versuchen, biochemische sowie genetische Risikofaktoren für die periphere arterielle Verschlusskrankheit zu identifizieren. Einer der uns besonders interessierenden Kandidaten ist das antiatherogene Apolipoprotein A-IV.

Abstract

Patients with peripheral arterial disease including those with intermittent claudication have a high risk for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. The outcome of patients with intermittent claudication is less limited by local complications in the leg than by the systemic complications of coronary and cerebral vessels. About 30 % of these patients will die within 5 years, three-quarters of them due to vascular events. Analyses using data of the KORA Study 2004/2005 (F3), a follow-up examination of the participants of the MONICA Survey 1994/95 (S3), will try to identify biochemical as well as genetic risk factors for peripheral arterial disease. The anti-atherogenic apolipoprotein A-IV will be one of our candidates of interest.
