Diagnosis of PAD and CAD in India

: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a symptom of systemic atherosclerosis with a high risk of adverse cardiovascular events. For PAD patients, secondary medical prevention with similar degree of coronary artery disease (CAD) is also recommended. Available evidence suggests that this condition has not yet been diagnosed or treated. There is no report on management of these patients in India. Purpose: To describe the atherosclerosis risk factors and drug prescription patterns of PAD patients at tertiary medical education hospital and compare the standard guidelines and management.

According to reports, an important growth driver is an increase in demand for coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis. There is a growing need for an appropriate method for diagnosing an increase in CAD morbidity. Coronary angiography is a standard procedure for diagnosing CAD. However, standard coronary angiography based only on visual evaluation and quantitative coronary angiography does not accurately predict the exact pathology leading to ischemia. These methods may not provide a clear picture of the severity and hemodynamic significance of the lesion. Several studies show that coronary angiography is limited and does not measure the extent to which stenosis hinders blood flow. Therefore, demand for new diagnostic technologies such as fractional flow reserve is increasing.

There is no doubt that coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most fatal disease in the world. It is caused by plaque accumulation on the wall of the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart. This limits blood flow to the heart, weakens the blood flow in the heart, causing heart failure, arrhythmia, and arrhythmia. It is the most common type of heart disease, 7.4 million deaths each year, accounting for nearly 15% of all people's deaths. However, in the 30 years from 1980 to 2010, the death toll of CAD has been cut by half, mainly due to medical progress. Dog research is the key to the development of coronary artery bypass surgery and reduces heart attack mortality by removing plaque coronary arteries

The most common cause of heart attack is coronary artery disease (CAD). In CAD, cholesterol and other substances called plaque accumulate in inner walls and arteries. This is atherosclerosis. It can accumulate for many years. Ultimately the plaque area may rupture (fracture). A thrombus forms around the plaque, occasionally occluding the artery. In the hospital, health care providers diagnose based on your symptoms, blood tests, and various cardiac health examinations. Treatment includes drug therapy such as coronary angioplasty and medical treatment. Cardiac rehabilitation and lifestyle changes can help restore after a heart attack
