Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a debilitating condition that leads to reduced walking ability, poor quality of life and an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and cardiovascular mortality. Exercise is the gold standard treatment for PAD, both before and after surgical intervention, yet few people in Australia are referred to structured exercise programs, and even fewer take part. This presentation will summarise the critical evidence for exercise in patients with PAD, including the effect of walking versus other modes, various intensities, including levels of claudication pain, supervision compared to home-based exercise, and the evidence for exercise post-surgery compared to no exercise. Different case studies will be presented to help illustrate the benefits of various exercise prescriptions, and evidence will be presented on the effect of exercise on walking ability, quality of life, aerobic fitness and muscle strength, major adverse cardiovascular events and mortality. This presentation aims to present practitioners with various exercise prescriptions to provide patients with PAD and assist them in achieving optimal fitness and function, improved quality of life, and reduced risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and mortality.
