1 Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that affects multiple vascular regions and is particularly severe in PAD patients, where up to 80 percent suffer from concurrent coronary arterydisease (CAD), historically linked with a mortality rate exceeding 50 percent within five years. Journal of Vascular Surgery, Mar.
Study end points include mortality, cardiovascular events (hospitalization for acute myocardialinfarction or stroke) and limb events (hospitalization for critical limb ischemia or major amputation) and were identified using Veterans Affairs and nonVeterans Affairs encounters.ResultsThe mean age was 70.6 were male, and 18.5%
BACKGROUND:Rivaroxaban plus aspirin compared with aspirin alone reduced major cardiac and ischemic limb events after lower extremity revascularization (LER) in the VOYAGER PAD (Vascular Outcomes Study of ASA Along With Rivaroxaban in Endovascular or Surgical Limb Revascularization for PeripheralArteryDisease) trial.
A study in the Journal of Vascular Surgery revealed that adding FFRCT assessments to patient workups prior to peripheralarterydisease surgeries has a massive impact on coronary arterydisease detection, treatments, and long-term outcomes.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronary arterydisease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aortic aneurysm).3
years of age, P <0.001), cerebral or peripheralarterydisease (6.2% While cardiologists have always recognized the presence of disease in the smaller arteries (microvascular disease), the presence of significant microvascular disease in the absence of epicardial disease is thought to be fairly rare.
