Contemporary cardiovascular risk and secondary preventive drug treatment patterns in peripheral artery disease patients undergoing revascularization

Abstract: Revascularized PAD patients are still at a high risk for CV events without a declining time trend. A large proportion of both IC and CLI patients were not offered best medical treatment. The most commonly used agent was aspirin, which was not associated with CV event reduction. This study calls for improved medical management and highlights an important and partly unmet medical need among revascularized PAD patients.

“…5 A slightly higher adherence rate was demonstrated for patients undergoing lower limb revascularization in Sweden 1 year postoperatively, with use of acetylsalicylic acid, ACE inhibitors, and statins of 75%, 40%, and 50%, respectively. 8 In addition to reducing CV risk, treatment aims for PAD include the management of limb symptoms. PAD is associated with functional limitations or rest pain and skin ulcers, which can lead to gangrene.…”

“…7 In reality, systemic vascular events may not be optimally treated in patients with PAD. 8,9 Current recommendations for PAD include regular antiplatelet therapy and as-needed treatment with statins and antihypertensive drugs to achieve target values for serum lipids and blood pressure, respectively. 7,10,11 Knowledge of drug therapy use in large, unselected PAD populations is scarce and the impact of atherosclerotic manifestations is not well understood.…”

“…Lower-extremity amputation and ulceration were associated with increased risk of major macrovascular events, and of cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular death in patients with diabetes [2629]. The risk of major cardiovascular events was also high in patients with PAD undergoing peripheral revascularization in a general population cohort including 39 % of participants with diabetes [30]. The pathophysiological links by which PAD might predispose to poor vascular outcomes have not yet been fully elucidated in patients with diabetes.…”

“…Однако в реаль-ной клинической практике до сих пор у больных ОЗАНК данная медикаментозная терапия используется недостаточно [9]. Например, сочетанное применение статинов и антиагрегантов по данным национального регистра в Швеции было использовано у 65% боль-ных с симптомами перемежающейся хромоты и у 45% больных с критической ишемией конечности, и существенно не изменилось в последние 5 лет [23].…”
