Abstract
Abstract: Lower Limbs Arterial Disease (LEAD) affects over 40 million people in Europe and appears to be 2-4 times more prevalent in people with type 2 diabetes (PWT2D) than in the general population. LEAD patients need intensive prevention and management of risk factors. Cigarette smoking is one of the most important risk factors for peripheral arterial disease as well as hyperlipoproteinemia and hypertension. Diabetic metabolic disorders are the most important risk factors for LEAD progression. The antiplatelet drugs represent one of the basic options for the management of patients with various atherosclerotic diseases. Aspirin is the oldest and most often prescribed antiplatelet drug. Lifestyle management remains the cornerstones of LEAD patients management.
