OBJECTIVE: Our group and others have previously established that patients with peripheral
artery disease (PAD) are significantly undertreated with respect to overall cardiovascular risk …

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common disorder usually associated with silent or
symptomatic arterial disease elsewhere in the circulation and a “cluster” of cardiovascular …

Objectives. We hypothesized, that patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are less
aware of risk factors and possible outcomes of the disease compared to patients with …

Highlights•Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is characterized by increased cardiovascular
risk.•Statins remain the first-line lipid-lowering therapy to treat PAD patients.•Statins …

Effective methods to educate physicians and patients on best medical management are
needed. Further research is needed to examine the benefit of LDL-c lowering and other lipid …

Background Despite the fact that peripheral arterial disease (PAD) significantly increases
the risk of cardiovascular mortality, it is significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated. The …

Background The risk of coronary artery disease in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is high,
life prognosis is poor, and lipid-lowering treatment with statins has been reported to improve …

Background and aims Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at a very high risk of
cardiovascular events and strongly benefit from lowering LDL cholesterol (LDL-C); updated …

Aim Risk factors for development of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are the same as for
atherosclerotic coronary or precerebral disease, and patients with PAD have a high …

We investigated the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Primary Care Health
Centers (n= 14) in Thessaly (central Greece) recruited 436 participants, mean age 71 (50 …
