Epidemiologie und Diagnostik der pAVK

Die periphere arterielle Verschlusskrankheit (pAVK) gilt als Markererkrankung einer multilokulären Atherosklerose und ist mit einem hohen kardiovaskulären Risiko assoziiert. Die häufig asymptomatisch verlaufende Erkrankung wird meist unterdiagnostiziert und untertherapiert und deshalb gerade bei Diabetikern oft erst im fortgeschrittenen Stadium festgestellt. Für eine stadiengerechte Therapie ist die frühzeitige Diagnostik von zentraler Bedeutung.

Abstract

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is considered a marker disease of multi-locular atherosclerosis and is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular events. PAD is both underdiagnosed and undertreated in everyday clinical practice. The disease is often asymptomatic and is often only diagnosed at an advanced stage, especially in diabetics. Therefore, the early diagnosis of PAD is of central importance to provide patients with stage-appropriate therapy at an early stage.
