Peripheral Artery Disease

We will explore presentations, mechanisms, examination, management and clinical reasoning. This lecture is highly practical and condition specific but it is hoped that it can integrated into a broader biopsychosocial approach.

The learning outcomes are:

• To appreciate, compare and contrast symptomatic PAD, primarily with lumbar spine stenosis
• To develop up-to-date knowledge of risk factors and prognostic factors
• To develop a deeper understanding of pathophysiology and how related to clinical manifestations
• To consolidate approaches to meaningful physical examination
• To consider when timely onward referral is appropriate. 
• To consider conservative management options including supervised exercise programmes.
