Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

626
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Peripheral Artery Disease IV: Nursing Management

652
 The nursing management of a patient with peripheral artery disease (PAD) begins with a thorough assessment of the patient’s health history and clinical manifestations.AssessmentHealth History: Evaluate the patient’s history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, family history of cardiovascular issues, and lifestyle factors such as dietary patterns, smoking, and physical activity.Physical Examination:Assess the affected extremity for decreased or absent peripheral pulses,...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

715
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

During the postoperative period, it is crucial to focus on maintaining circulation, identifying and managing potential complications, and planning for discharge.Nursing AssessmentVital signs monitoring: Regularly monitor vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature, to detect early signs of complications such as bleeding and infection.Circulation assessment: Monitor pulses, perform Doppler assessments, and check capillary refill, color, temperature, and...

Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction

646
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) predominantly results from atherosclerosis, which involves the accumulation of fatty deposits, or plaques, within the walls of arteries. This causes them to narrow and harden, significantly reducing blood flow. PAD predominantly affects the legs, particularly the arteries supplying the thighs and calves. In rare cases, it may involve other arteries, including those in the arms.Etiology of PAD:The principal cause of PAD is atherosclerosis, which results from fatty...

Atherosclerosis III: Management

613
Management of atherosclerosis involves an integrated strategy encompassing pharmacological treatment, surgical interventions, lifestyle changes, and nutrition therapy to address the multifactorial nature of the disease.Pharmacological TherapyA cornerstone of atherosclerosis management is the use of pharmacological agents. Statins, such as atorvastatin, are pivotal in inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that catalyzes an initial step in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This reduction in...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Health
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with high sedentary behavior (SB), negatively impacting mobility, quality of life, and cardiovascular risk.
  • Few interventions have specifically targeted SB reduction in individuals with PAD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week, remotely delivered intervention aimed at reducing sedentary time in people with PAD.
  • To assess the potential impact of the intervention on SB and functional capacity.

Main Methods:

  • A single-arm, single-centre feasibility study involving participants with PAD.
  • The intervention incorporated online education, a wearable activity tracker, and weekly remote coaching calls.
  • Objective measures included activPAL for SB/physical activity and a 6-minute walk test; qualitative interviews assessed acceptability.

Main Results:

  • A 77% recruitment rate was achieved, with 70% attending follow-up.
  • Baseline SB was 63% of waking hours, decreasing slightly to 60% at 12 weeks.
  • Qualitative feedback indicated participants valued the coaching calls and wearable feedback, highlighting themes of awareness, motivation, engagement, and barriers.

Conclusions:

  • The remotely delivered intervention for reducing SB in PAD is feasible and acceptable.
  • The intervention shows potential for reducing sedentary time, though strategies to enhance retention and compliance are necessary for larger trials.
