Medial arterial calcification of the foot arteries is associated with incident cardiovascular events or all-cause mortality in patients with diabetes-related foot ulceration

Key Points

• The study investigates the link between medial arterial calcification in foot arteries and outcomes like cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with diabetes-related foot ulcers.
• Observational analysis of patients with diabetes-related foot ulceration
• Assessment of medial arterial calcification in foot arteries
• Monitoring for major adverse cardiovascular events or all-cause mortality
• Medial arterial calcification is significantly associated with increased cardiovascular events
• Patients with infected foot ulcers have a heightened risk of major adverse cardiovascular events
