Summary:In this manual, the authors focused on the principal methods for diagnosis of peripheral artery disease in cardiological patients, from the interview and physical examination to functional tests and vascular visualization. Diagnostic and prognostic value of each method, its potentialities for reducing the risk of cardiovascular events (CVE), including myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke (IS) or extremity amputation in critical ischemia, and overall mortality are discussed. The authors provided current information about a possibility of reducing the risk of CVE by intensifying the antithrombotic therapy according to results of the COMPASS study.
