The article presents a study that evaluated primary care awareness of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and the management of atherosclerosis risk factors in these patients. PAD is highly prevalent in the U.S. and associated with high rates of cardiovascular ischemic events. Failure to diagnose PAD...
Piedmont Heart Grand Rounds: Dr. Andrew Klein presents educational information on peripheral arterial disease (PAD) for internists, cardiologists and vascular medicine specialists. Learn about the significant clinical impact of this prevalent condition.
How is ischemic heart disease treated? Is CAD and ischemic heart disease the same? What is the pathophysiology of a transient ischemic attack? Is arterial stenosis the same as ischemic heart disease? How is stenosis different from peripheral artery disease?
Peripheral Artery Disease: where a build-up of fat and cholesterol narrows the blood vessels. Numbness in feet from PAD tends to be worse when exercising and may be accompanied by fatigue, aching pain and burning in the legs and feet DVT: A deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot. Usually ...
How is stenosis different from peripheral artery disease? What is spontaneous pneumothorax? Why is it difficult to ventilate a patient with pneumothorax? Is incentive spirometry contraindicated for pneumothorax? Is nonischemic cardiomyopathy the same as dilated cardiomyopathy?
Elevated heart rate (HR) increases myocardial oxygen demand, contributes to fatigue, and can damage the elastic fibers of arterial walls, potentially accelerating the progression of atherosclerosis. RHR is recognized as an independent risk factor for both all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality ...

Arteriosclerosis is the condition of the arterial walls where there is a development of thickness and hardening and atherosclerosis is a type of this condition where there is significant plaque buildup. Learn about arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, the causes of these conditions, the risk factors...
approximately one million participants [41] demonstrated that AF is associated with an increased risk of mortality (both all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality, including SCD), major cardiovascular events, ischemic strokes, IHD, HF, chronic kidney disease, and peripheral arterial disease (Fig...
