ABSTRACT
Introduction: The correlation between peripheral arterial disease and the risk of suffering serious cardiovascular events is high since it is usually associated with coronary and cerebral atherosclerosis. The calcium score is a non-invasive procedure with high predictive value in coronary artery disease, the volumetric quantification of calcium in the coronary wall together with the management of risk factors guarantees adequate management of the patient diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease, as well as treatment integral.Objective: To determine the relationship between risk factors and results of the Calcium Score with peripheral vascular angiography.
Method: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out, the population consisted of 556 patients who underwent Peripheral Vascular Angiography and Calcium Score, being made up of 209 patients through simple random probability sampling.
Results: The predominant age group with PAD was men older than 60 years. The main associated risk factors found were age, sex, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus followed by smoking and hypercholesterolemia. It was shown that there is an evident relationship of severity in peripheral and coronary artery diseases.
Conclusions: The high quantification of coronary calcium using the Calcio Score based on the Agatston technique had an evident relationship with the severity of peripheral arterial disease, in which the presence of risk factors such as age over 60 was associated with a higher incidence years, male sex and high blood pressure.
