The exact pathophysiologic relationship of diabetes to development of PAD is unclear, as there are both direct effects of hyperglycemia as well as an increased frequency of hypertension and hyperlipidemia in patients with diabetes. Patients with the metabolic syndrome (defined by insulin resistance, increased triglycerides, decreased high-density lipoprotein [HDL], and small dense low-density lipoprotein [LDL] particles) seem to have an especially elevated risk for developing PAD (9). In the Cardiovascular Health Study, the relative risk for developing PAD was increased more than fourfold for those with diabetes (12).
