  • Periferna arterijska bolezen in hiperlipidemija = Peripheral artery disease and dyslipidemia
    Poredoš, Pavel
    Peripheral arterial occlusive disease is one of the most common forms of atherosclerotic disease. Since atherosclerosis is a systemic disease, patientswith peripheral artery disease are also at risk ... of coronary heart disease and cerebral artery atherosclerosis. Therefore, the presence of peripheral artery disease indicates high risk and effective preventative measures are necessary to reduce the possibility of fatal cardiovascular complications. In addition to smoking and diabetes, cholesterol is an important risk factor for the development and progression of peripheral atherosclerotic disease. The efficacy of treatment of hypercholesterolemia in persons with peripheral artery disease has not yet been researched in a major clinical study, but several small studies have shown that by reducing cholesterol in these patients, the progression of asymptomatic atheroscleroticplaques in peripheral arteries can be retarded. Subgroup analyses of major studies (4S, HPS) have also indicated that by reducing cholesterol in vascular patients, the frequency of occurrence of intermittent claudication can be reduced and that in patients who already have peripheral artery disease the risk due to the accompanying coronary heart disease is alsosignificantly reduced. Patients with peripheral vascular disease are at high risk, therefore the target lipid values are the same as for coronary heart patients. Secondary prevention of atherosclerosis in vascular patients also does not differ from that in patients with coronary heart disease.
