Patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) are at increased
risk of death when compared with age-matched healthy controls, and
patients with PVD, whether symptomatic or not, are six times more
likely to die within ten years when compared to patients without
the disease. This excess mortality exists even if coronary artery
disease is not clinically present, and makes the treatment of PVD a
highly important and pressing topic. shown that risk factors in
peripheral vascular disease are less likely to be treated, and
because patients with PVD have a decreased exercising capacity, a
cycle of sedentary lifestyle impacts upon quality of life and the
progression of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, the improvement of
symptoms without a pharmacological or non-pharmacological
intervention is unlikely, making appropriate therapy for PVD
critical. twenty-one contributors present the reader with all of
the currently available clinical information for treating PVD
patients effectively, discussing, for example, treatments such as:
* risk factor modification and therapy to prevent cardiovascular
events * pharmacological therapy for claudication * exercise
training for the treatment of claudication * surgical or
endovascular revascularization.
