Health-related quality of life in patients with peripheral arterial disease undergoing percutaneous transluminal angioplasty: A prospective one-year follow-up
2010, Journal of Vascular NursingCitation Excerpt :Critical limb ischemia or intermittent claudication are symptoms of PAD, which is a chronic illness, usually due to arteriosclerosis. The prevalence of PAD in the Swedish population in the years 1999-2000 was 4.1 % in the age range 50-89 years, which translates into approximately 2 % of the total population.7 The incidence may be even higher.
Antithrombotic therapy for peripheral artery occlusive disease: American College of Chest Physicians evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (8th edition)
2008, ChestCitation Excerpt :The most common symptom of atherosclerotic peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAD) is intermittent claudication. Among men over the age of 60 years, 2 to 3% have symptomatic PAD, as do 1 to 2% of women.1–3 However the prevalence of asymptomatic PAD, generally proven by a reduced ankle/brachial systolic pressure index, is three to four times as great.4,5
A population-based study of peripheral arterial disease prevalence with special focus on critical limb ischemia and sex differences
2007, Journal of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The overall prevalence found in this study was also similar to more recent data that did not use a population-based selection of study participators.22,23 Previous prevalence data on IC vary greatly in the literature and range from 1% to 14 %.24-27 It is noteworthy that no IC prevalence studies have been performed in the last decade to our knowledge, and only a few of the previous ones included women.
