Q

What do macrovascular diseases cause compared to microvascular?

A

Microvascular disease causes morbidity;
macrovascular disease causes morbidity and mortality - if diabetes one heart attack more likely to have another then in non diabetic

20
Q

What else effects coronary heart disease risk in diabetes?

A

Ethnicity

21
Q

What is macrovascular disease?

A

a systemic disease and is commonly present in multiple arterial beds

22
Q

What is ischaemic heart disease?

A
  • The major cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetes. (earlier)
  • The mechanisms are similar with and without diabetes
23
Q

What is cerebrovascular disease?

A

•Earlier than without diabetes
•More widespread
-e.g. stoke

24
Q

What does peripheral vascular disease contribute to?

A

Contributes to diabetic foot problems with neuropathy - ischameia due narrowing arteries

25
Q

What can renal artery stenosis contribute to?

A

May contribute to hypertension and renal failure

26
Q

Does treatment targeted to hyperglycaemia alone affect increased risk of cardiac disease?

A

has minor effect on increased risk of cardiovascular disease

27
Q

What are the non-modifiable risk factors for macrovascular disease?

A
  1. Age
  2. Sex
  3. Birth weight
  4. FH/Genes
28
Q

How do you prevent macrovascular disease?

A
  • Prevention of macrovascular disease requires aggressive management of multiple risk factors
  • Insulin resistance before hyperglycaemia itself contributes very important
29
Q

What are the modifiable risk factors for macrovascular disease?

A
  1. Dyslipidaemia (very helpful in preventing macrovascular disease in diabetes)
  2. High blood pressure
  3. Smoking
  4. Diabetes
30
Q

What is important to manage?

A
  • Blood pressure

- Blood lipid

31
Q

What are the complication fo diabetes predisposing to foot disease?

A
  1. Neuropathy; sensory, motor and autonomic

2. Peripheral vascular disease

32
Q

What is the epidemiology of foot disease?

A
  • Prevalence of diabetes in England and Wales = 2-3 %
  • Prevalence of current or past foot ulceration in diabetes: 5 - 7 % (about 50,000 in England and Wales)
  • Risk of amputation up to 60× in diabetes. Poor subsequent prognosis.
  • 10 % of NHS bed occupancy due to diabetes related problems (50% foot disease)
33
Q

What is the pathway to foot ulceration?

A
  1. Sensory neuropathy (10g microfilimaent thing)
  2. Motor neuropathy
  3. Limited joint mobility
  4. Autonomic neuropathy (grease and sweat)
  5. Peripheral Vascular disease
  6. Trauma – repeated minor/discrete episode
  7. Reduced resistance to infection
  8. Other diabetic complications
    - e.g. retinopathy
34
Q

What is the neuropathic foot?

A
  • numb
  • warm
  • dry
  • palpable foot pulses
  • ulcers at points of high pressure loading
35
Q

What is the ischaemic foot?

A
  • cold
  • pulseless
  • ulcers at the foot margins
36
Q

What is the neuroischaemic foot?

A
  • numb
  • cold
  • dry
  • pulseless
  • ulcers at points of high pressure loading and at foot margins
37
Q

How do you assess the foot of a diabetic patient?

A
  1. Appearance - ? Deformity? Callus
  2. Feel - ? Hot/cold ? Dry
  3. Foot pulses- dorsalis pedis / posterior tibial pulse
  4. Neuropathy - vibration sensation, temperature, ankle jerk reflex, fine touch sensation
38
Q

What is the preventative management of a diabetic foot?

A

1.Control diabetes Glycaemia/lipids/BP
2.Inspect feet daily
3.Have feet measured when buying shoes
4.Buy shoes with laces and square toe box
5.Inspect inside of shoes for foreign objects
attend chiropodist
6.Cut nails straight across
7.Care with heat
8.Never walk barefoot

39
Q

What is the MDT for diabetes foot?

A
  1. Diabetologist
  2. Diabetes nurse
  3. Chiropodist
  4. Orthopeadic surgeon
  5. Limb fitting centre
  6. Orthotist
  7. Vascular surgeon
40
Q

How do you manage a foot ulceration?

A 
1. Relief of pressure
-bed rest (risk of DVT, heel ulceration)
-redistribution of pressure/total contact cast
2. Antibiotics, possibly long term 
3. Debridement
4. Revascularization
-angioplasty
-arterial bypass surgery
5, Amputation
41
Q

What does help for microvascular?

A
  • Lots of medicines combatting all aspects - but hard on patient
  • Aggressive early management of all risk factors
42
Q

What is microvascular complications related to?

A
  1. Hyperglycaemia
  2. Dyslipideamia
  3. Hypertension
  4. Central fat
    - Mutlifactorial
43
Q

How do hands and toes act in motor neuropathy in the foot?

A
  • Glycosilation of tendons in hand, hand does not bend properly, increasing abnormal pressure loading
  • Biggest risk of ulceration on greta toe metatarsal head, toes clawed/flexed
44
Q

What is osteomyelitis?

A
  • Hot red foot with ulcer
    1. Forefoot: MTP’s IP’s
    2. Hindfoot: calcaenus
    3. Xray: normal first weeks
    4. MRI: marrow edema in forefoot and hind foot near ulcer
45
Q

What is active charcot?

A
  • Hot red foot - no ulcer
    1. Midfoot, subarticular
    2. Xray: normal first weeks
    3. MRI: marrow edema in midfoot subchondral
46
Q

What is charcots foot and osteomyelitis?

A
  • Can happen from diabetes and if foot ulceration left can lead to
  • Charcots: from prolonged neuropathy (not acute!) gradual
  • Osteomyelitis: can result from infection in foot or from inside body without clear foot infection
