Abstract

Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) now affects approximately 200 million men and women worldwide and 8 million people in the United States. The prevalence of PAD increases with older age. PAD will be increasingly common as the population lives longer with chronic disease. Although the most classic symptom of PAD is intermittent claudication, most people with PAD do not have classic intermittent claudication, and many people with PAD report no exertional leg symptoms, in part because people with PAD have restricted their activity to avoid leg symptoms. For these reasons, PAD is frequently underdiagnosed. The therapeutic approach to PAD consists of medical therapies to prevent cardiovascular events and exercise interventions to improve walking ability and prevent mobility loss.
