Peripheral Arterial Disease • Increasing but under-diagnosed cardiovascular health
issue
• Affects up to 29% of Americans
• Hypertension linked to PAD development
• Lacking data on PAD risk prediction related to:– Systolic blood pressure (SBP)– Diastolic blood pressure (DBP)
Criqui,M.H. et al. Vasc Med 2001, Murabito,J.M. et al. Am Heart J 2002
Uncontrolled Hypertension
• Up to two-thirds of Americans with hypertension are: – Untreated– Undertreated
• Control of hypertension to current guidelines reduces coronary artery disease by 57%
• How does blood pressure and control status relate to PAD risk?
