What is Inflammation and Loss of Skeletal Muscle Mass in Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia about?
## Background: Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (pad) is an atherosclerotic disease of the lower extremities. atherosclerosis, inflammation, and sarcopenia are independently associated and potentiate each other. inflammation is deeply involved in the formation and progression of atherosclerosis and is also involved in the pathophysiology of sarcopenia. sarcopenia is defined as low muscle mass, with low muscle strength. this study aims to determine the differences in skeletal muscle characteristics and in inflammatory parameters between patients with claudication and with chronic limb threatening ischemia (clti). ## Methods: An observational, prospective study in patients with pad was conducted from january 2018 to december 2020. the clinical characteristics and the cardiovascular risk factors were prospectively registered. the inflammatory parameters determined were: positive acute phase proteins (c-reactive protein- crp- and fibrinogen) and negative acute phase proteins albumin, total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (hdl). the skeletal muscle area and density were quantified with a computed topography (ct) scan. the strength was determined with a jamar® hydraul
