Quality of Life and Functional Capacity following Peripheral Arterial Disease Exercise Programme

Quality of Life and Functional Capacity following Peripheral Arterial Disease Exercise Programme
(2010)
Guidon, Marie; McGee, Hannah; Kelly, Cathal
Abstract:
<p>Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a manifestation of generalised atherosclerotic disease in which the arterial lumen becomes progressively narrowed by atherosclerotic plaques. This results in reduced blood flow to the tissues causing pain on exercise, relieved by rest (Intermittent Claudication [IC]). As PAD is a chronic, progressive disease with a significant cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk burden it has a considerable impact on functional capacity and quality of life (QOL). Current evidence suggests that 27 million people in Europe and North America have PAD1. The main aim of treatment is maintenance or improvement in quality of life by eliminating ischaemic symptoms and preventing progression to vascular occlusion. The use of patient-based measures of treatment effect including functional capacity and disease-specific quality of life questionnaires has been recommended.</p>

Recruitment to Exercise Programmes: Challenges in the Peripheral Arterial Disease Population

Abstract:
<p>Current evidence suggests that 27 million people in Europe and North America have peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Although only 3% of patients with intermittent claudication (IC) require amputation, a significant number will require hospital admission and other surgical intervention for IC and associated cardiac and cerebrovascular complications. An important aim of exercise therapy in the peripheral arterial disease population is to decrease cardiovascular risk factors and consequent morbidity and mortality. Several studies have demonstrated that exercise programmes result in significant improvements in walking distances but the long-term benefits are unknown. A randomised controlled trial is currently being conducted in Beaumont Hospital to determine the effects of a supervised exercise programme on quality of life, risk factor modification and morbidity and mortality in patients with PAD.</p>
