Q

degrees of severity/pt presentation

A
  1. Asymptomatic (can be due to concomitant neuropathy or earlier stages of disease)
  2. Symptoms
  3. Acute limb ischemia
  4. Critical limb ischemia

Q

treatment pearl (refer)

A
  1. Refer to vascular surgeon for revascularization if claudication causing significant functional impairment after adequate medication trial or presence of disease that would impair ability to exercise even with claudication improvement (angina, HF, asthma/COPD)
