Peripheral arterial disease is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. As such, it is found that screening for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) improves risk assessment. Thus, intensive risk factor modification and medical treatment in these patients are necessary.
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease in patients with concomitant coronary arterial disease.
Asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease was investigated in 400 patients (60% males, 40% females, aged 59.7± 11.3) with a documented coronary arterial disease.
Among patients with documented CAD, 12% had asymptomatic PAD with the ABI ratio of less than 0.9.
It is advisable to screen for PAD not only as a disease but also as a risk assessment method for atherosclerosis.
外周动脉疾病与不良心血管结局相关。因此,发现筛查外周动脉疾病(PAD)可改善风险评估。所以,对这些患者进行强化危险因素修正和药物治疗是必要的。
本研究的目的是确定合并冠状动脉疾病患者中无症状外周动脉疾病的患病率。
对400例有冠状动脉疾病记录的患者(男性60%,女性40%,年龄59.7±11.3岁)进行无症状外周动脉疾病调查。
在有冠状动脉疾病记录的患者中,12%有无症状PAD,踝臂指数(ABI)小于0.9。
不仅应将PAD作为一种疾病进行筛查,还应作为动脉粥样硬化的一种风险评估方法进行筛查,这是可取的。
