New Clinical Practice: Peripheral Artery Disease in the Legs 👉 nej.md/4sZujsh Peripheral artery disease affects approximately 236 million persons worldwide and is diagnosed with an ankle–brachial index of less than 0.90. Among older persons, 3.3% of those without peripheral artery disease, 18.1% with mild disease, and 52.0% with severe disease could not complete a 6-minute walk test without resting. To prevent cardiovascular events in persons with peripheral artery disease, intensive cholesterol-lowering medications (statins), antiplatelet medications or low-dose aspirin with rivaroxaban, blood-pressure lowering to less than 130/80 mm Hg, and semaglutide are recommended, along with sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in patients with diabetes. Supervised walking exercise and structured home-based walking exercise each improve walking ability in persons with peripheral artery disease. Revascularization in the legs should be reserved for those with persistent disease symptoms that do not respond to exercise. Learn more in the Clinical Practice article “Peripheral Artery Disease in the Legs” by Mary M. McDermott, MD, from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (@NUFeinbergMed): nej.md/4sZujsh

President Trump is taking 325 mg of aspirin a day to prevent heart disease. His doctors advise him to take 81 mg. Both are wrong. Here’s why. New edition of Ground Truths, open-access erictopol.substack.com/p/the-lowdown-…
