RESUMEN
La enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP) es la afectación de la circulación arterial especialmente a nivel de las extremidades inferiores. Su prevalencia aumenta con la edad. La mayoría de los afectados estarán asintomáticos, lo que supone un reto, ya que debemos hacer un esfuerzo activo para diagnosticarla. Al diagnosticar la EAP, debemos hacer entender a nuestros pacientes que el riesgo no es perder la extremidad, sino presentar complicaciones cardiovasculares mayores o incluso, la muerte. Debemos orientar al paciente para realizar un cambio en su estilo de vida y a la vez concientizar al médico de atención primaria para realizar prevención y diagnóstico precoz de la EAP para así evitar progresión de la enfermedad con consecuencias irreversibles(AU)
ABSTRACT
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the involvement of the arterial circulation especially in the lower limbs. The prevalence of this pathology increases with age. The majority of those affected will be asymptomatic, which is a challenge, since we have to make an active effort to diagnose them. When diagnosing PAD, we must make our patients understand that the risk is not to lose the limb, but to suffer major cardiovascular complications or death. We must guide the patient to make a change in lifestyle and at the same time. raise awareness of the primary care physician to perform prevention or early diagnosis of PAD and thus prevent progression of the disease with irreversible consequences(AU)
