Overview
Diagnosis and Management of Peripheral Artery Disease
Registration is closed for this activity.
This activity is intended for primary care physicians and podiatrists interested in peripheral artery disease.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects approximately 8 million people in the U.S. and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, including myocardial infarction and stroke, as well as significant functional impairment and decline with disease progression. Early, accurate diagnosis and treatment can prevent or delay some of the cardiovascular and functional impairments; therefore, detection of PAD by primary care physicians and podiatrists can play an important role in improving patient outcomes and quality of life. This educational program will address PAD risk factors and recent clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and management of the disease. Screening techniques and diagnostic methods for the detection of PAD will be discussed, as well as treatment of PAD through lifestyle modification, pharmacologic therapy, and surgical intervention.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to
- Identify risk factors associated with peripheral artery disease
- Summarize clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and management of peripheral artery disease
- Apply appropriate diagnostic tools and methods for the detection of peripheral artery disease
- Analyze therapeutic options for the management of peripheral artery disease to improve patient quality of life
