BackgroundMajor depressive disorder (MDD) has been identified as a causal riskfactor for multiple forms of cardiovascular disease. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print.
A new joint guideline from the American Heart Association (AHA), the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and nine other medical societies reports early diagnosis and treatment of peripheralarterydisease is essential to improve outcomes and reduce amputation risk, heart attack, stroke and death for people with PeripheralArteryDisease (PAD).
METHODS:The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and peripheralarterydisease (PAD) are recognized as independent riskfactors contributing to excess mortality. Contemporary observational studies exploring the associations of risk fact.
However, when these arteries become narrowed or blocked conditions like PeripheralArteryDisease (PAD) can emerge, posing a threat to our overall health. Understanding PeripheralArteryDiseasePeripheralarterydisease or PAD is a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries that lead to the legs and feet.
Peripheralarterydisease (PAD) continues to increase in prevalence worldwide due to riskfactors such as advanced age, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. Critical limb ischemia (CLTI) is the advanced form of PAD that can result in a lack of healing and limb loss as the most devastating consequence.
3, 2025 Today, PeripheralArteryDisease (PAD)affects 10 million Americans and is the most common cause of limb amputation outside of trauma. Patients should know the riskfactors for PAD so that they dont dismiss symptoms as just getting older, saidRobert J. tim.hodson Tue, 02/04/2025 - 17:13 Feb. What Is PAD?
Peripheralarterialdisease (PAD) is the third leading cause of atherosclerotic morbidity after coronary heart disease and stroke yet is widely underdiagnosed and undertreated. Treatment of riskfactors such as diabetes and cigarette smoking can benefit patients with PAD.
However, the prevalent use of TAVR on a diverse patient profile with different riskfactors, such as peripheralarterydisease, precluded the possibility of a transfemoral approach despite the improvement of valves and delivery systems technology.
Background and aims In the non-metropolitan region of Brandenburg (Germany), which is characterized by high rates of cardiovascular diseases and underserved medical care, there is a lack of awareness regarding lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] as a riskfactor. 3.95, p = 0.003). 3.95, p = 0.003). vs. 45.8%; 17.6%
Peripheralarterialdisease ( PAD ) affects more than 200 million people worldwide. 1,2 Its most severe form is CLTI, which represents an advanced stage of PAD with risk to both life and limb, and one-year estimates of mortality over 20% across a range of observational studies. Glob Heart. 2014;9(1):145-158 e121.
February 1, 2024 — As cardiologists, heart disease patients and the organizations that serve them across the country embark on American Heart Month, DAIC has compiled a snapshot of significant cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke statistics, along with a review of the atherosclerosis drug market. per 1,000* - 122.4
BackgroundPeripheral arterydisease (PAD) and microvascular disease (MVD) are highly prevalent conditions that share common riskfactors. Journal of the American Heart Association, Volume 13, Issue 1 , January 2, 2024.
1 It is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, stroke and peripheralarterialdisease, independent of traditional cardiovascular riskfactors.
METHODS:The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing.
Variables and prognosis were analysed based on the presence or absence of NCA, defined as previous stroke, transient ischaemic attack (TIA), or peripheralarterydisease (PAD) [lower extremity arterydisease (LEAD), carotid disease, previous lower limb vascular surgery, or abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)].
With this longer lifespan, calcific aortic stenosis (AS) was identified as an emerging critical riskfactor for cardiac death in older patients. However, HGPS patient-device size mismatch, pervasive peripheralarterialdisease, skin and bone abnormalities, and lifelong failure to thrive present unique challenges to intervention.
Six multimorbidity patterns were identified, including 4 specific patterns: (1) pattern 1, cerebrovascular cluster (histories of cerebrovascular disease and hypertension); (2) pattern 2, traditional cardiovascular diseaseriskfactors cluster (histories of hyperlipidemia, obesity, anddiabetes, and family history of cardiovascular disease and smoking); (..)
Objective Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is an important genetically determined riskfactor for atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASCVD). With the development of Lp(a)-lowering therapies, this study sought to characterise patterns of Lp(a) levels in a global ASCVD population and identify racial, ethnic, regional and gender differences.
Background and aims Epidemiology of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease might be different in patients with polygenic hypercholesterolemia plus high levels (≥30 mg/dl) of Lp(a) (H-Lpa) than in those with polygenic hypercholesterolemia alone (H-LDL).
Patients with a new or recurrent episode of ASCVD (angina, acute myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, stroke, or peripheralarterialdisease) between 1-Jan-2017 and 31-Dec-2018 were included. The resources use within two years of the diagnosis was estimated in order to estimate the average cost of patient follow-up.
According to a recent survey released today by the Society, nearly one in three Americans at the highest risk for developing blood vessel (vascular) diseases have not heard of any of the most common conditions, like peripheralarterydisease and carotid arterydisease.
13, 2024Sensome hasannounced positive results from two studies of its Clotild Smart Guidewire System demonstrating its ability to successfully identify fresh clot thrombus rich in red blood cells (RBCs) in peripheralarterydisease (PAD) and differentiate it from other tissue encountered during PAD procedures. Lancet Glob.
11 Despite the link between inflammation and cardiovascular disease has been proven by extensive research, most physicians have focused on treating high-risk patients with lipid lowering therapies including statin therapy.1,12,13 milligrams per liter (mg/L) are linked to increased risk of heart attacks or risk of a repeat heart attack.23
The benefit of resistance training observed in observational studies is supported by controlled trials on resistance training, which demonstrate that this type of exercise reduces traditional and nontraditional CVD riskfactors. Aerobic training is probably best for increasing cardiorespiratory fitness (i.e., In short — do both!

Women also had more cardiovascular riskfactors, including hypertension (66.6% years of age, P <0.001), cerebral or peripheralarterydisease (6.2% versus 63.2%; P <0.001), hyperlipidemia (68.9% versus 66.3%; P =0.004), older age (62.4±7.9 years of age versus 59.0±8.4
Objective Historical reductions in cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to lifestyle and treatment improvements are now threatened by factors such as increasing obesity and diabetes, but the relative importance of different riskfactors varies by CVD condition.
BackgroundThe burden of peripheralarterydisease (PAD) is increasing in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Future research should focus on identifying the underlying riskfactors for PAD in this setting. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print.
Furthermore, it includes the latest recommendations which specifically address AF and thromboembolic risk assessment, anticoagulation, left atrial appendage occlusion, AF catheter or surgical ablation, and riskfactor modification and AF prevention.
The scientific statement, Sex Differences in Peripheral Vascular Disease, summarizes current knowledge of the differences between men and women with PVD; highlights disparities in riskfactors, screening, treatment and outcomes; and outlines key research priorities to mitigate these disparities and promote health equity.
BackgroundPatients with peripheralarterydisease are at increased risk for major adverse cardiac events, major adverse limb events, and all‐cause death. Developing tools capable of identifying those patients with peripheralarterydisease at greatest risk for major adverse events is the first step for outcome prevention.
Background Hypertension is a riskfactor for bleeding events and is included in the HAS-BLED (Hypertension, Abnormal renal/liver function, Stroke, Bleeding history or predisposition, Labile INR, Elderly, Drugs/Alcohol concomitantly) score.
The noradrenergic phenotype had significantly more atherosclerotic complications (composite end point of type 1 myocardial infarction and symptomatic peripheralarterydisease; odds ratio, 3.58 [95% CI, 1.59–8.83];P=0.003), 0.57];P=0.002).
Models were adjusted for age, sex, race, ethnicity, heart failure, coronary arterydisease, peripheralarterydisease, hypertension, diabetes, and tobacco use. Risk of recurrent stroke was higher in patients who presented with multi-territory infarcts (HR 2.5, 1.71) versus single-territory infarct (HR 1.0,
