Abstract:
Background
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.Objectives
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease in patients with concomitant coronary arterial disease.Methods
Asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease was investigated in 400 patients (60% males, 40% females, aged 59.7± 11.3) with a documented coronary arterial disease.Results
Among patients with documented CAD, 12% had asymptomatic PAD with the ABI ratio of less than 0.9.Conclusions
It is advisable to screen for PAD not only as a disease but also as a risk assessment method for atherosclerosis.Keywords:
