European Society of Cardiology Aug 30 2024 The 2024 ESC Guidelines for the management of peripheral arterial and aortic diseases evaluate these vascular diseases together as part of same cardiovascular system, appreciating that patients with aortic diseases are at risk of having peripheral vascular diseases and vice versa. The Guidelines are aimed at cardiologists, but were coordinated for alignment with guidelines for surgeons by EACTS and endorsed by VASCERN and ESVM.
Jose Fernando Rodriguez Palomares, ESC Guidelines co-chair, Professor, University Hospital Vall d'Hebron, Barcelona, Spain PAAD is estimated to affect around 113 million people aged 40 and over globally, of whom nearly half are in low- and middle-income countries. The global prevalence is 1.5% and increases with age, affecting 15-20% of those aged 70 years and over and 20-30% of those aged 80 years and older. Prevalence increased by 72% from 1990 to 2019, despite the global population growing only 45%.

The whole family may need to adopt lifestyle changes to support the patient, such as healthier eating and exercise," explains Professor Rodriguez Palomares.
