Ankle-brachial index and cardiovascular outcomes in the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes trial
2012, American Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :A high ABI is attributed to arterial calcification, and the pathogenesis differs from atherosclerosis in that it is related to changes in the medial layer of the arterial wall.15 Patients with DM may have accelerated arterial stiffening due to the effects of hyperglycemia and insulin on connective tissue proteins and cellular proliferation, respectively.16,17 In a study of 16,493 individuals referred for outpatient, noninvasive lower extremity arterial testing, 17% had poorly compressible lower extremity arteries, defined as an ABI ≥1.4 and/or an ankle systolic blood pressure >255 mm Hg.
Usefulness of baseline obesity to predict development of a high ankle brachial index (from the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis)
2011, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Accordingly, when a small sample of patients with type 2 diabetes was started on insulin therapy, which is thought to increase insulin sensitivity, a decrease in a marker for arterial stiffness was observed.25 Insulin resistance also induces smooth muscle cell proliferation and the nonenzymatic glycosylation of proteins such as collagen.26,27 The aggregate effect of these insulin-related changes may directly increase ABI, particularly if they are shown to preferentially affect lower extremity arteries.
The association between elevated ankle systolic pressures and peripheral occlusive arterial disease in diabetic and nondiabetic subjects
2008, Journal of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Several pathways are proposed to explain arterial stiffening in DM patients. Insulin triggers cultured smooth muscle cell proliferation.28 Hyperglycemia is responsible of nonenzymatic glycosylation of several proteins, including collagen and elastin.29

2003, American Journal of MedicineCitation Excerpt :Data from human and animal studies offer a plausible basis for the association between insulin excess and CVD. However, most of these studies have been conducted in small populations in highly controlled settings.15,16,50–55 It has been suggested that insulin is a vasoactive peptide capable of inducing pressor effects, including increased sympathetic activity, renal sodium retention, and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.30,56
