“…Underrepresentation of CEEC population data in vascular guidelines may distort the global validity of recommendations. Disparities in research may call upon an action to support regional diversity of cardiovascular scientific efforts [63]. Moreover, not only is there a lack of available scientific data on health care characteristics of CEECs, but the use of these data to support the health policy decisions is also limited.…”

Thirty years after the transition period, starting from 1989, Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs), representing one-fifth of the entire European population, share many historical, societal, political, economic, and cultural characteristics. Although accumulating data on coronary heart diseases and cerebrovascular diseases support these observations, in the case of peripheral arterial disease, data are scarce. The present review attempts to summarise the shreds of data that may highlight a divide in this field between CEECs and Western European countries. Disparities in risk factors and peripheral vascular care across Europe seem to be tangible and can be seen as a signal of existing differences. Improvements in research and development and the collection and cross-border share of scientific data are essential to initiate and facilitate convergence in this field.
