Webinar Overview

When is medical therapy enough for peripheral artery disease (PAD) and when is revascularization the next step? Explore practical approaches to recognizing PAD, evaluating leg symptoms, optimizing medical therapy and determining when vascular referral or intervention is needed.

Recognize PAD and explore practical strategies for diagnosis, medical management and revascularization in part three of this four-part Vascular Essentials for Cardiology Practice webinar series. Hosted by ACC's Vascular Disease Member Section, this webinar will explore practical approaches to recognizing peripheral artery disease, evaluating lower extremity symptoms and optimizing guideline-directed medical therapy. Faculty will discuss when additional diagnostic evaluation, vascular referral or revascularization may be appropriate. Case-based discussions will highlight strategies to improve cardiovascular and limb outcomes through early recognition, comprehensive risk factor management and appropriate intervention. View part one and part two of the webinar series, and stay tuned for more information on part four soon.

Key Objectives/Learning Outcomes:

• Identify patients at risk for PAD and recognize common symptoms.
• Apply evidence-based medical and cardiometabolic therapies for PAD.
• Differentiate vascular from nonvascular leg symptoms and identify when further evaluation is needed.
• Recognize when revascularization is indicated and when to consider endovascular or surgical intervention.
