Risk Factors and Clinical Findings of Peripheral Arterial Diseases

Abstract

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis which is associated with an increased risk of death and ischemic events (myocardial infarction, stroke). The aim of this study is to detect the risk factors in PAD and by combining with clinical signs to determine the management strategies for PAD. Four-hundred and forty PAD patients, who were admitted to the Radiology Department of Uludag University, School of Medicine and a Private Angiography center in Bursa were evaluated in regard of the risk factors and clinical findings. Of these patients, 389 were men (89%), 51were women (11%). The main symptom among patient was intermittant claudication (%73.9).The results of peripheral angiographies revealed that the 68 % of the patients had stenosis, 19 % had occlusion, 2 % had aneurysm whereas 11 % were normal. Our study showed that the incidence of PAD is higher in men than women and that smoking is an important risk factor for PAD. Evaluation of patients' history and the results of the angiography together disclosed that, in general, an early diagnosis could not be made and treatment to eliminate the risk factors were not performed on time. If the primary care physicians were to spent sufficient amount of time for taking the history and performing physical examination, PAD could be detected and treated more promptly. The Physician's examination is the most cost effective way of all the tests that can be ordered for diagnosis.
