Abstract: Even in an university hospital, prevention is far from ideal. Efforts to increase patients' awareness should be stimulated, and can possibly improve the effectiveness of preventive measures.

“…25 Chang reported 90% of patients treated at a vascular clinic knew their diagnosis, where 88% of these identified the correct diagnosis and 78% were aware of the importance of secondary prevention. 18 In the same study, 68% of participants reported they had never discussed PAD or risk reduction. When a relative or friend had PAD, 10% more participants were able to describe universally recognised PAD symptoms.…”

“…We have already shown in a previous study that coronary artery disease patients are much more aware of their disease, and the importance of risk factor control, than vascular surgery patients. 35 The presence of hemodynamic instability during anesthesia indicates a four-fold risk increase. We believe that more than a clinical sign of the CV event, patients who experience hemodynamic instability due to bleeding, vasoplegia, hypovolemia, or anesthetic effect experience uncontrolled myocardial oxygen supply demand mismatch that can cause sudden ischemia (type II myocardial infarction) or trigger further plaque disruption (type I myocardial infarction).…”

“…However, a previous review has shown that the majority of PAD patients do not receive complete information about secondary prevention measures [ 2 ]. Awareness of PAD symptoms, risk factors and treatment options are reportedly low in both the general population [ 3 ] and in patients with PAD [ 3 6 ]. However, few studies have explored how these patients actually communicate their knowledge about their illness and treatments.…”
