Background/Aims Peripheral arterial disease is common among those aged 60 years or above and can cause debilitating intermittent claudication. This impacts quality of life and is a marker for increased morbidity and mortality, mainly from cardiovascular disease. Access to recommended exercise programmes for people with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease is poor in most areas of the UK. This study aimed to evaluate the benefits of expanding an established cardiac rehabilitation service to accommodate supervised exercise for people with peripheral arterial disease Methods The study evaluated 11 participants peripheral arterial disease and intermittent claudication who were referred by the Manchester leg circulation service. Participants underwent the programme involving eight weekly 1.5 hour sessions of supervised exercise and cardiovascular education with support, reassurance and motivation. The participants' blood pressure, walking impairment, quality of life, anxiety and depression were monitored and reviewed. Results Overall, the participants' walking distance, intermittent claudication, quality of life and blood pressure had improved. The participants' overall satisfaction with the programme was excellent. The programme also demonstrated clinical and cost-effectiveness. Conclusions A structured, supervised exercise programme can have considerable benefits for people with peripheral arterial disease, improving their symptoms and quality of life. It may also help to reduce the morbidity and mortality risks associated with inactivity in this patient group.

Peripheral arterial disease is a marker of severe atherosclerosis with a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. Public and patients’ perception of peripheral arterial disease is influenced by their knowledge of the condition. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the Saudi public’s knowledge of peripheral arterial disease and its specific characteristics. We conducted an interview-based cross-sectional survey, and collected data on basic demographics, self-reported peripheral arterial disease awareness, and knowledge of clinical features, risk factors, preventative measures, management strategies, and potential complications of peripheral arterial disease. A total of 866 participants completed the survey (response rate, 94%); two-thirds were females. Only 295 (34%) of the surveyed participants indicated awareness of peripheral arterial disease. Overall peripheral arterial disease knowledge was low among the “peripheral arterial disease aware” group, particularly in the clinical features domain. Age > 40 years, female gender, and higher education were predictors of self-reported awareness of peripheral arterial disease. In conclusion, the Saudi public is largely unaware of peripheral arterial disease. Educational programs are important to address this critical knowledge gap.

Background/Objectives: Peripheral arterial disease is a frequent and severe disease with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, female patients appear to be undertreated. Objectives: The primary goal was to compare the prescription of optimal medical treatment (OMT) of peripheral arterial disease between women and men in primary health care. Material and methods: An observational retrospective study was based on the data collected from general practitioners (GP) office in Brittany. Results: The study included 100 patients, aged 71 ± 10 years old, with 24% of women. Compared to men, women received the OMT less frequently (29.2% vs. 53.9%, p = 0.038), especially after 75 years old. Antiplatelet therapy was largely prescribed (100%), statins less frequently (70.8% women vs. 85.5% men), and prescription of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors was still not optimal in the two genders (41.7% women vs. 61.9% men). Active smoking is important for both women and men (33% and 30% respectively). Conclusion: Optimal medical treatment of peripheral artery disease is insufficiently prescribed, especially in women in this region of France.

Pleiotropic Actions

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common atherosclertico condition affecting the lower extremities. PAD patients share similar cardiovascular risk factors to coronary artery disease patients and suffer from increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Statins have been widely used in coronary artery disease patients but have been underused in patients with PAD. In the current review, we present data which support the beneficial role of statins in both reducing cardiovascular events and improving symptom-related outcomes in PAD patients. Alongside their lipid lowering effects, their pleiotropic actions are also discussed. Recent guidelines, which strongly recommend the administration of statins in PAD patients, are also presented.
