Diagnostics on Demand: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)

Follow
Osmosis from Elsevier

Got a patient coming in with a chief complaint of intermittent claudication (crampy pain in the calves when walking)? Today's #DiagnosticsOnDemand shows you how to obtain anklebrachial index (ABI) scores to assess for and diagnose peripheral arterial disease.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is when an extremity, typically the lower limb, doesn't receive enough blood supply to meet the needs of its tissues. It’s often caused by chronic narrowing of the artery’s luminal diameter, simply known as stenosis, due to atherosclerosis, inflammation, or trauma.

Over time, the stenosis decreases the blood supply to the tissue, which can lead to the formation of ischemic ulcers at distal zones of the affected arteries, like the toes.
