Enfermedad arterial periférica on Windows Pc

EAP - Peripheral arterial disease is an application addressed to the medical community, developed jointly by Ferrer Internacional, SA Pharmaceutica and Otsuka SA, to detect and diagnose quickly and reliably by EAP CLAUDICATION QUIZ OF THE EDINBURGH and ankle / brachial index.

The CPS is the atherosclerotic involvement of the peripheral arteries: extracranial carotid and vertebral, upper limb, lower, renal and mesenteric extremities (excluding the aorta, coronary and brain). Atherosclerosis develops slowly, reducing tissue subsidiary irrigation.
The prevalence of this disease increases with age and is one of the most frequent complaints by the progressive aging.

1 in 5 people over 65 have PAD!

Many patients remain asymptomatic, since ischemia is manifested only when functional demand, and usually these patients are almost entirely sedentary or inactive. Sometimes some symptoms may worsen, and acute episodes can occur, often associated with thrombosis, embolism or occlusion of a major artery.

The main symptom is intermittent claudication (IC), or showcase syndrome: a pain in the calf area that appears quickly and walking away with rest.

But only 1 in 10 patients with PAD have this symptom!

You have to make an active and systematic screening for PAD in elderly patients (> 65 years), smoking, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, other cardiovascular diseases (renal failure, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease) or with suggestive symptoms (CI, injuries atrophy or distal). A high percentage of patients with PAD also have coronary or cerebrovascular involvement, and have an increased risk of serious cardiovascular events.

- The CLAUDICATION SURVEY OF EDINBURGH to detect and diagnose intermittent claudication by 6 Quick and simple to patient questions.

- The ankle / brachial index (ABI) confirmed the diagnosis of PAD (<0.9) and determines its severity. The ABI is calculated by dividing the systolic blood pressure (SBP) of each ankle between the value of SBP in the arm. Will place pressure cuffs 8-12 cm in both arms and both ankles patient supine. After 10 minutes of rest, using a 5-10 MHz Doppler probe without pressing the artery and with it an angle of 45 º, locate and measure the blood flow in the PAS humeral artery, and posterior tibial Pedias. We will take the highest value of the arms and the larger of each ankle (pedal or posterior tibial). Dividing the first value by the second two values ​​of ITB, one for each lower limb, and we obtained for each patient as final the lowest of the two.

APPLICATION WILL GIVE THE RESULT AND DIAGNOSIS IMMEDIATELY!
In addition:
• You can save the results of all their patients.
• You can send them to your computer for archiving in their medical history.
• You can see the correlation and clinical referral criteria.
