ABSTRACT
The peripheral arterial disease is defined as an important manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis, the severity is closely associated with the risk of myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and death from vascular causes. By the ankle-brachial index we can assess the long-term prognosis of the patients, because the lowest anklebrachial index, have an annual mortality of 25%. Inside the clinical manifestations the pivotal symptoms are pain affecting the calves, and one third of these patients have typical claudication.
The treatment of this disease focuses the modification of risk factors (smoking, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and diabetes mellitus) and a formal exercise program. The administration of drugs like aspirin, clopidogrel and cilostazol play an important role to improve the patient’s symptoms, such as the functional capacity and their quality of life.
