Is it possible to prevent CV events in PAD patients? (Results of PID-PAB study)

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with frequent cardiovascular ischemic events. We followed the survival of 811 PAD patients and and 778 control subjects and tested whether PAD remains an adverse prognostic indicator in spite of treatment according to the current European guidelines on cardiovascular disease prevention. Patients with PAD had a borderline higher risk of all-cause death and a significantly higher risk of major and minor non-fatal cardiovascular events compared to control subjects. However, treatment according to the European guidelines on cardiovascular disease prevention resulted in encouragingly low absolute mortality and morbidity.

Peripheral arterial disease is caused by advanced atherosclerosis, which narrows and finaly occludes diseased artery. In the developed world morbidity is high. Two % of population develops the disease before 60 years of age, 4% between 60 and 7o years and 5% after 70 years of age. If patients are diabetics or smoke, morbidity increases by 5-fold.
