"Latar Belakang: Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) merupakan pemeriksaan noninvasif sederhana dan akurat untuk penyaring dan diagnostik Penyakit Arteri Perifer (PAP). Nilai ABI abnormal merupakan prediktor penting terjadi aterosklerosis sistemik yang menjadi penyebab stroke dan penyakit kardiovaskuler. Nilai ABI rendah berhubungan dengan telah tezjadi aterosklerosis sistemik atau PAP. Setelah lima tahun kemudian 25-35% penderita PAP akan mendenita stroke atau infark miokard. Faktor risiko stroke iskemik yang berhubungan dengan proses aterosklerosis adalah hipertensi, dislipidemia, homosisteinemia, merokok, infeksi dan hiperglikemia. Tujuan: Mengetahui gambaran nilai ankle brachial index pada penderita stroke iskemik di RSUPN Cipto Mangunkusumo Jakarta. Metode: Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan disain potong lintang deskriptif analitik pada 73 penderita stroke iskemik. Kemudian dilakukan anamnesis, pemeriksaan fisik umum, pemeriksaan neurologi rutin, pemeriksaan kadar total kolesterol darah, trigliserida, LDL, HDL, GDS, dan dilakukan pemeriksaan ABI. Pasien yang tidak memiliki CT scan / MRI kepala tidak masuk dalam penelitian. Hasil: Dari 73 subyek penelitian didapatkan sebaran umur terbanyak pada kelompok umur 55-64 tahun (42,5%) dan sebagian besar subyek (78.1%) memiliki hipertensi. Proporsi nilai ABI abnormal pada penderita stroke iskemik adalah 26,0 %. Faktor risiko yang bermakna Secara Statistik dengan analisis bivariat adalah kadar total kolesterol darah p=0,039 dan umur p=0,034. Seclangkan hasil analisis multivariate menunjukkan bahwa kelompok umur merupakan faktor risiko independen yang bermakna terhadap nilai ABI abnormal dengan p-value 0,023 (OR 2,556; IK 95% 1,136-5,752). Kesimpulan: Penderita stroke iskemik berumur lebih dari 55 tahun merupakan faktor risiko yang berhubungan terhadap kejadian nilai ABI abnormal. Sedangkan hiperkolesterolemia merupakan faktor risiko yang mempunyai hubungan yang bermakna dengan nilai ABI abnormal."

"Latar Belakang: Penyakit arteri perifer (PAP) adalah manifestasi aterosklerosis sistemik, yang seringkali melibatkan penyandang diabetes melitus (DM) tipe 2. Tes ankle brachial index (ABI) telah digunakan sebagai penapis PAP, tetapi ABI normal belum menyingkirkan PAP. USG dupleks (UD) lebih sensitif namun lebih mahal daripada tes ABI, sehingga perlu diketahui karakteristik penyandang DM tipe 2 yang paling diprioritaskan untuk menjalani pemeriksaan UD.Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk membuktikan bahwa UD dapat mendeteksi PAP pada penyandang DM tipe 2 dengan ABI normal, mengenali gambaran UD PAP, dan mengenali karakteristik penyandang DM tipe 2 yang paling diprioritaskan untuk menjalani pemeriksaan UD.Bahan dan Cara Kerja: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain potong lintang dengan mengikutsertakan 40 tungkai. Setiap subyek menjalani roc ABI, pemeriksaan UD dan pen ilaian faktor-faktor risiko. Arteri-arteri ekstremitas bawah d iperiksa, dengan penilaian terhadap ketebalan kompleks intima media (KIM) arteri femoralis, adanya plak, dan evaluasi spektrum Doppler.Hasil: Dari pemeriksaan UD ditemukan PAP pada 50% (20 dari 40) tungkai. Gambaran UD PAP yang didapatkan berupa penebalan KIM arteri femoralis (20%, 4 dari 20 tungkai) dan adanya plak dengan spektrum Doppler yang masih normal di arteri-arteri ekstremitas bawah (100%, 20 dari 20 tungkai). Terdapat hubungaxi bermakna antara obesitas dan kejadian PAP (Rasio Odds = 22,45). Kesimpulan: Dari penelitian ini, kami menyimpulkan bahwa: 1) UD dapat mendeteksi PAP pada penyandang DM tipe 2 dengan A131 normal; 2) Gambaran UD PAP pada pasien-pasien tersebut berupa penebalan KIM arteri femoralis dan adanya plak dengan spektnim Doppler normal di arteri-arteri ekstremitas bawah; 3) Obesitas merupakan karakteristik penyandang DM tipe 2 yang paling diprioritaskan untuk menjalani pemeriksaan UD.

Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a manifestation of atherosclerosis disease, which commonly involves the non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients. Ankle brachial index (A13I) test has been used as a screening test for PAD, but a normal ABI does not exclude PAD. Duplex ultrasonography (DU) is more sensitive but more expensive than ABI, so it is neccessaty to assess the characteristics q f NIDDM patiens who are mostly indicated to undergo DU examination.

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to prove that DU can detect PAD in NIDDM patients with normal ABI, to assess DU appearances of PAD, and to assess the characteristics of NIDDM patiens who are mostly indicated to undergo DU examination.

Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in a cross sectional design, which involved 40 legs. Every subject underwent ABI and DU examinations. Lower extremity arteries were examined, with assessment for femoral intitnal medial thickness (IMT), the presence of plaque, and evaluation of Doppler spectrum .1-or each artery. The risk factors were evaluated by anamnesis, physical examination and laboratory examination.

Results: From DU examination, as many as 50% (20 _ from 40 legs) are found to have PAD. The DU appearances q f PAD include increase_ femoral artery LMT (20%, 4 from 20 legs) and the presence of plaques with normal Doppler spectrums in the lower extremity arteries (100%, 20 from 20 legs). There was a significant relationship between obesity and the evidence of PAD (Odds ratio = 2 2, 45).

Conclusions: From this study, we conclude that: I) DU can detect PAD in NIDDM patients with normal ABI, 2) 7Tie DUI appearances of PAD in those patients include increase femoral arrey IMT and the presence of plaques with normal Doppler spectntras in the lower extremity arteries: 3) Obesity is the characteristic of NIDDM patients who are mostly indicated to undergo DU examination."

"Latar Belakang. Prevalensi penyakit arteri perifer (PAP) pada pasien diabetes melitus lebih tinggi dibandingkan populasi umum. Penyakit arteri perifer dapat meningkatkan mortalitas dan morbiditas terutama akibat penyakit kardiovaskular pada pasien diabetes melitus tipe 2 (DM tipe 2). Tidak semua pasien dengan PAP dapat terdeteksi dengan pengukuran ankle brachial index (ABI) istirahat, sehingga diperlukan pemeriksaan ABI treadmill. Pemeriksaan ABI treadmill dapat mendeteksi PAP pada fase awal, sehingga profil pasien pada kelompok ini berbeda dengan klompok PAP yang dideteksi dengan ABI istirahat. Diketahuinya profil pasien PAP ini penting untuk membantu meningkatkan kewaspadaan pasien, khususnya pasien DM tipe 2. Tujuan. Mengetahui profil pasien DM tipe 2 dengan PAP yang dideteksi dengan ABI treadmill. Metode. Penelitian dengan desain potong lintang dilakukan di Poliklinik Metabolik Endokrin dan Kardiologi, Departemen Ilmu Penyakit Dalam, Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo pada Februari sampai April 2016 dengan metode sampling konsekutif. Subjek dengan nilai ABI istirahat normal/ perbatasan menjalani treadmill dengan protokol Bruce yang digunakan juga sebagai protokol uji latih jantung treadmill. Diagnosis PAP ditegakkan bila terdapat penurunan nilai ABI lebih dari 20% dibandingkan ABI istirahat. Hasil. Sebanyak 92 subjek dianalisis untuk mengetahui profil pasien DM tipe 2 dengan PAP yang dideteksi dengan ABI treadmill. Lima belas subjek (16,3%) didiagnosis PAP. Kelompok PAP memiliki persentase subjek dengan durasi diabetes ≥ 10 tahun sebanyak 53,3%; dislipidemia sebanyak 73,3%; penyakit ginjal kronik (PGK) sebanyak 33,3%; perokok sebanyak 40%; komplikasi neuropati sebanyak 53,3%; albuminuri sebanyak 53,3%; retinopati sebanyak 40%; dan respons iskemia jantung positif/sugestif positif sebanyak 40% subjek. Sedangkan kelompok tanpa PAP memiliki subjek dengan durasi diabetes ≥ 10 tahun sebanyak 33,8%; dislipidemia sebanyak 57,1%; PGK sebanyak 19,5%; perokok sebanyak 32,5%; komplikasi neuropati sebanyak 37,7%; albuminuri sebanyak 26,4%; retinopati sebanyak 28,6%; respons iskemia jantung positif/sugestif positif sebanyak 28,5% subjek. Kesimpulan. Prevalensi PAP yang dideteksi dengan ABI treadmill pada pasien DM tipe 2 adalah 16,3% (IK 95%: 8-23%). Kelompok PAP yang dideteksi dengan ABI treadmill memiliki subjek dengan durasi DM ≥ 10 tahun, dislipidemia, perokok, PGK, neuropati, albuminuria, retinopati dan respons iskemia jantung positif/sugestif positif lebih banyak daripada subjek tanpa PAP.

Background. The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) among diabetes patients was higher compared to general population. PAD increases morbidity and mortality, especially due to cardiovascular disease, in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (T2DM). Not all patients having PAD could not be detected by resting ankle brachial index (ABI) measurement, hence it is required treadmill ABI examination. The examination enable to detect PAD in the earlier phase, therefore patients profile would different with PAD patient detected from resting ABI examination. The profiles are important to raise the awareness of T2DM patients.

Aim. To identify profile T2DM patients with PAD detected by treadmill ABI.

Methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out in Metabolic Endocrine and Cardiology Outpatient Clinic, Internal Medicine Department, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital during February-April 2016. The study used consecutive sampling method. Subject having normal or borderline resting ABI value is examine using Bruce protocol treadmill. The protocol is also used as a cardiac treadmill exercise test protocol. The patients diagnose as PAD if there is a reducing ABI value more than 20% compared to resting ABI.

Result. The profile of PAD patients detected by treadmill ABI were obtain from 92 subjects. Fifteen subjects (16,3%) were diagnosed having PAD. In the group with PAD, the percentage of subject with diabetes duration ≥ 10 years was 53,3%; dyslipidemia was 73.3%; chronic kidney disease (CKD) was 33.3%; smokers was 40%; complications of neuropathy was 53.3%; albuminuri was 53.3%; retinopathy was 40%; positive / positive suggestive cardiac ischemia response was 40% . Meanwhile the group without PAD, the percentage of subjects with diabetes duration ≥ 10 years was 33.8%; dyslipidemia was 57.1%; CKD was 19.5%; smokers was 32.5%; complications of neuropathy was 37.7%; albuminuri was 26.4%; retinopathy was 28.6%; positive / positive suggestive cardiac ischemia response was 28.5%.

Conclusion. The prevalence of PAD that detected by treadmilll ABI in T2DM patients is 16,3% (95% CI: 8-23%). The Group with PAD detected by ABI treadmill which have duration of diabetes ≥ 10 years, dyslipidemia, smokers, CKD, neuropathy, albuminuria, retinopathy, and the positive result on treadmill exercise test have more subjects than group without PAD."

"ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Aterosklerosis merupakan penyakit sistemik, bisa terjadi di seluruh pembuluh darah. Pada arteri karotis terjadi penebalan tunika intima yang dapat dideteksi menggunakan penunjang non invasif yaitu dengan ultasound. Pada tungkai dapat dilakukan pemeriksaan non invasif yaitu Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) dan Toe-Brachial Index (TBI) untuk mengetahui adanya penyakit arteri perifer, dengan asumsi bahwa adanya penurunan ABI atau TBI menunjukkan sudah ada stenosis.

"Diabetes Mellitus (DM) merupakan faktor risiko yang paling dominan menyebabkan Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Pasien DM yang disertai dengan komplikasi CAD biasanya akan mengalami gejala Atypical angina. Gejala ini biasanya sangat sulit untuk dikenali sebagai nyeri angina yang khas pada pasien CAD, diperlukan pemeriksaan lebih lanjut untuk menegakkan diagnosis CAD. Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) merupakan indikasi adanya Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD). PVD yang disertai neuropati dan infeksi pada pasien DM tipe 2 biasanya mengindikasikan adanya penyempitan pada pembuluh darah jantung. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana hubungan antara gangguan vaskuler perifer dengan gejala Atypical angina pada pasien DM tipe 2 yang memiliki komplikasi CAD. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan analitik korelasi dengan rancangan cross- sectional pada responden sebanyak 83 pasien. Hasil Anallisis menggunakan Chi- square didapatkan bahwa nilai ABI rendah (obstruksi) memiliki hubungan dengan gejala Atypical angina pada pasien DM tipe 2 yang memiliki komplikasi CAD (p: 0,02). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, perawat perlu melakukan intervensi yang tepat guna mencegah te1jadinya komplikasi CAD pada pasien DM tipe 2.

Diabetes Mellitus is the most predominant risk factor that caused to coronary artery disease. Diabetes patient who are experiencing complication of coronary artery disease commonly experiencing atypical angina. These atypical angina symptoms usually difficult to identify, not like angina pain which is specific to coronary miery disease. Therefore it is needed further diagnostic examination to diagnose coronary artery disease. Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) can be used as one option in early diagnostic of peripheral vascular disease (PVD). PVD with neuropathies problem and infection on Diabetes type 2 patients commonly experience narrowing coronary blood vessels.

The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between alterations on peripheral vascular with atypical angina on coronary artery disease patient with history of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 who have complication of coronary artery disease. This is correlation analytic study using cross-sectional approach recruited 83 patients in the study. The result shows that the low ABI score when the patient experience obstructions, has significant correlation with atypical angina on DM patient type 2 who had CAD (p=0.02). It is suggested that nurses should implement nursing intervention that prevent complication of CAD on Diabetes patient type 2."

ABSTRACTThe chronic diabetes mellitus has the potential to cause several complicationsincluding peripheral arterial disease (PAD). A parameter indicating PAD amongstType 2 diabetes mellitus patients is the decline in the ankle brachial index (ABI) ontheir lower extremity. Once this condition persists, it can cause neuropathy leadingto the occurrence of leg diabetic ulcer. An intervention believed to overcome thisproblem is conducting foot massage or ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM)exercises. This research aimed at investigating the effectiveness of exercisecombination of foot massage and ankle dorsiflexion ROM on ABI scores amongtype 2 diabetes mellitus patients. This study used quasi-experiment method with preand post-test without control design, and consisted two intervention groupsinvolving 20 participants. The study revealed that there was distinctive correlationbetween the exercise combination of foot massage and ankle dorsiflexion ROM andthe increase of ABI scores of the patients (p value = 0.033 for the right extremitiesand p value = 0.001 for the left extremities).The findings suggest that suchintervention can be considered or even be provided by nurses taking care of type 2diabetes mellitus patients to prevent them from the possible deterioratingcomplication, the peripheral artery disease.;The chronic diabetes mellitus has the potential to cause several complicationsincluding peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

"[ABSTRAK Salah satu komplikasi dari Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) adalah kerusakan tungkai bawah hingga tidakdapat digunakan untuk beraktifitas. PAD disebabkan oleh gangguan vaskular yang menyebabkan atherosklerotikpada vaskular di bagian distal. Suatu penelitian kohort di Swedia menyatakan bahwa penyembuhan primer, lajuamputasi dan mortalitas pada pasien PAD berhubungan dengan derajat insufisiensi vaskular. Dengan demikian perlu dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui karakteristik vaskular pada kasus PAD secara kuantitatif maupun kualitatif serta hubungannya dengan nilai Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) dan gambaran gelombang Doppler Ultrasonography(DUS). Metode penelitian menggunakan studi potong lintang. Hasil penelitian didapatkanpasien PAD dengan nilai ABI rata-rata 0,7 dengan gambaran gelombang DUS yang berubah dari trifasikmenjadi non-tirfasik dominan pada arteri infrapopliteal. ABI di bawah 0.9 menunjukkan perubahan pada gelombang DUS dari arteri femoralis hingga a.dorsalis pedis dengan nilai p <0.05. Faktor-faktor risiko yang paling tampak adalah usia di atas 45 tahun yang menunjukkan peningkatan risiko PAD. Selain itu hubunganABI dan faktor ?faktor risiko menunjukkan bahwa hiperlipidemia dan diabetes melitus menunjukkan hubungan signifikan dengan p<0,05. Sedang pada hubungan DUS dan faktor-faktor risiko hanya usia >45 tahun yangtampak secara statistik signifikan meski secara klinis faktor-faktor risiko yang lain menunjukkan jumlahpersentase yang diatas 50%. Disimpulkan bahwa dengan mengetahui nilai ABI dapat ditentukan derajatkeparahan PAD dan juga dengan mengetahui gelombang DUS saja maka dapat diketahui oklusi di tingkat segmen arteri yang mana.Selain itu, usia di atas 45 tahun, hiperlipidemia dan juga diabetes melitus merupakan faktor risiko yang penting untuk terjadinya atherosklerosis dan penyumbatan pada distal arteri. Penggunaan DUS untuk menentukan tingkat penyumbatan sangat informatif dalam hal penggambran gelombang, aman dan murah sehingga dapat menetukan tindakan selanjutnya.ABSTRACT One of the complications of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is the damage that can be made to the lower

extremities causing difficulties to perform any activities with it. PAD is caused by vascular insufficiency known as atherosclerotic of the distal vascular. A cohort research in Sweden described that the primary recovery, amount of amputation and mortaltiy of PAD patients is related to the degree of vascular insufficiency. As for which, a research should be made to endorsed the knowhow of the vascular characteristics on PAD patients

quantitatively and qualitatively in accordance to ABI value and DUS spectral waveform. Methods used is cross

sectional. The result was, PAD patients had mean ABI value of 0.7 with changes of DUS spectral waveform

from triphasic to non-triphasic dominantly seen in infrapopliteal arteries. ABI less than 0.9 has a significant value towards changes in the spectral waveform from the femoral artery to the dorsal pedis artery. The risk factors such as age above 45 years old shows a significant relationship with the increase in PAD risk (p <0.05). Besides that, p <0.05 was also seen in hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus patients with PAD. As for the

relation between DUS and the risk factors, age above 45 years old was seen significant statistically eventhough

clinically all risk factors showed a percentage above 50%. It is concluded that by knowing the ABI value, the

degree of severity of PAD can be acknowledge and by knowing the waveform of DUS only one can know the

level of occlusion in an arterial segment. Besides that, age above 45 years, hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus are the important risk factors that causes atherosclerosis and occlusion in distal arteries.
