Abstract:

In this study, patients diagnosed with peripheral artery disease in our country are intended to identify their relationship with atherosclerotic risk factors. The well-known risk factors will make it possible to take the necessary measures against those that can be modified, early diagnosis and treatment. Patients diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (PAH) clinically or with ultrasound were peripheral angiography for the lower end arteries. The patient’s age, gender and risk factors were questioned. 78.4 percent of the 408 patients involved were men and the average age of the patients was 61.5±9.5. In 58.3 percent of patients, hypertension (HT), diabetes mellitus (DM) in 26.7 percent and coronary artery disease (KAH) in 15.9 percent of families. 48.2% of patients were smoking, while 49. He had hypercholesterolemia. There is a relationship between the degree of prevalence of peripheral arterial disease identified in the peripheral sub-end angiography and the atherosclerotic risk factors. Patients in the risk group should be cautious with regard to peripheral artery disease to reduce morbidity and mortality, and non-invasive tests and, if necessary, invasive tests should be performed for early diagnosis.
