Optimal Medical Therapy in Peripheral Artery Disease
Guest: Stan Henkin, M.D.
Host: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D.
Atherosclerosis of peripheral (ie, non-coronary) arteries, also known as peripheral artery disease (PAD), affects more than 8 million Americans. Unfortunately, compared to coronary artery disease (CAD), PAD is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. In this podcast, experts discuss optimal medical therapy in patients with PAD.
Topics Discussed:
- What is peripheral artery disease? What are the most common symptoms of PAD?
- You diagnose PAD. What pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies do you consider?
- How do you follow-up a patient with PAD?
- When should a patient be referred to a vascular specialist?
