Overview
The MOET ICHDK (Monitoring of an Effective Therapy of Peripheral Arterial Disease, MOET PAD) project had established collaboration between general practitioners and angiologists in the area of PAD – both symptomatic and asymptomatic – across the Czech Republic and emphasised the need for comprehensive care for patients with PAD with respect to atherosclerosis risk factors interventions in primary care. Twelve-month monitoring and treatment intensification led to important decrease in total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerols levels and increased the number of patients with hypertension who achieved target values. The number of smokers in the evaluated cohort decreased, while body weight did not decline.
Keywords:
peripheral arterial disease – early diagnosis – measurement of ischemic index – risk factor intervention
