Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia: A Disease CV Clinicians Can't Afford to Miss

Webinar Overview

Don't miss the signs of chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Discover practical strategies for recognition, management and coordinated care in part two of this four-part Vascular Essentials For Cardiology Practice webinar series. Learn more about part one here.

CLTI represents the most advanced form of peripheral artery disease and is associated with significant risks, including limb loss, cardiovascular events and mortality. Despite its impact, early signs are frequently missed. This webinar, hosted by ACC's Vascular Disease Member Section, will provide practical approaches to recognizing chronic limb-threatening ischemia, performing focused vascular assessments, initiating appropriate medical therapy, and collaborating with vascular specialists to ensure timely evaluation and coordinated care. Case-based discussions will highlight opportunities to improve outcomes through earlier recognition, evidence-based management, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Key Objectives/Learning Outcomes:

  • Recognize the clinical features and presentations of CLTI.
  • Differentiate CLTI from other causes of lower extremity pain and wounds.
  • Apply evidence-based medical therapy and risk factor management strategies.
  • Identify when urgent vascular evaluation and referral are appropriate.
