Overview

Diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines of peripheral arterial disease of extremities recommanded by five scientific societies of Slovak Medical Association (Slovak Angiological Society, Slovak Society for Vascular Surgery, Slovak Cardiologic Society, Slovak Internal Society and Slovak Radiologic Society) are discussed in this article. Peripheral arterial disease (PAO) of extremities is an important manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis The lower the ankle-brachial pressure index, the greater the risk of serious cardiovascular events (e.g. myocardial infarction, stroke). Nevertheless, patients with PAO are undertreated with regard to use of antiplatelet drugs or lipid-lowering drugs, as compared with patients with coronary artery disease.

Key words:
peripheral arterial disease of extremities - diagnosis - treatment
