Antithrombotic Therapy for Peripheral Artery Disease in 2018

Abstract: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) commonly refers to lower extremity atherosclerosis and is estimated to affect more than 200 million people worldwide. 1 Patients with PAD are at increased risk for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (myocardial infarction [MI], ischemic stroke, and cardiovascular death) and major adverse limb events (MALE) (major amputation and acute limb ischemia). Among patients with symptomatic PAD, annual rates of MACE are 4% to 5%, and rates of MALE are 1% to 2%. 2 These ischemic events ar… Show more

“…Complications of heart disease [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Heart failure One of the most common complications of heart disease, heart failure occurs when heart can't pump enough blood to meet body's needs. Heart failure can result from many forms of heart disease, including heart defects, cardiovascular disease, valvular heart disease, heart infections or cardiomyopathy.…”

“…Despite significant advances, embolic and thrombotic events (such as ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and peripheral arterial disease) continue to be major causes of morbidity and mortality, worldwide. [1][2][3][4][5] Considering stroke in the U.S. alone, there are over 795,000 cases annually, with someone having a stroke on average every 40 s. Approximately 87% of strokes are ischemic and 13% hemorrhagic, with stroke ranking as the #5 cause of death, and a major cause of disability, dementia, and depression, costing more than 34 billion dollars annually. Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the U.S., with the majority of cases being attributed to ischemic coronary artery disease.…”
