Development of a biomarker panel for assessing cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI)): a prospective study

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Elevated IL-1, IL-6, CRP, TNF-α, HMGB-1, OPG and Sortilin levels and low Omentin-1 levels at baseline correlate with worse vascular outcomes in diabetic patients with CLTI undergoing LER. Assessment of the inflammatory state with this panel of biomarkers may support physicians to identify a subset of patients more susceptible to the procedure failure and to develop cardiovascular adverse events after LER.
