AHA Releases Statement on Women and Peripheral Artery Disease
The American Heart Association has released a "call-to-action" to raise awareness of the burden of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in U.S. women.
Published in Circulation, the statement emphasizes the dearth of research on PAD in women, but notes the following based on existing data:
- Women have at least as many PAD-related physician visits as men.
- Like men, most women with PAD do not present with "classic symptoms" of intermittent claudication; rather, many are asymptomatic or have atypical leg symptoms.
- Women face greater risk for graft failure and limb loss than men.
In addition, the statement advises primary care clinicians to use ankle-brachial index measurements to identify women who have PAD or who are at high risk for it.
