“…This study shows that there are differences in GPRs' awareness and management of atherosclerotic disease depending on its location. The best awareness was for TIA such as in our previous GPs' study [3]. Unlike the study about GPs, here, we don't find any significant difference between SA and IC.…”

“…As we found the same trends in the two studies concerning GPs' and GPRs' knowledge of atherosclerosis disease, this questions the quality of initial training in French medical Faculties [3]. TIA was the best-known disease in our studies (19.9% for GPRs and 48.2% for GPs), followed by SA (0.9% for GPRs and 3.0% for GPs) and IC (0.4% for GPRs and GPs).…”

“…In a previous survey, we have shown that the management by General Practitioners (GPs) of the patients depends on the location of atherosclerosis disease. Indeed, GPs who are the first caregivers that see patients when they have symptoms have a significantly better knowledge on ICD than CHD and PAD [2,3]. The knowledge of general practice residents (GPR) is unknown.…”

“…Libby concluded that 2.8% of the participants are aware of atherosclerosis (Libby et al, 2016). The study by Maria Charasson revealed that 96.5% of the participants are aware of atherosclerosis (Charasson et al, 2018). In the present study 87.3% of the participants agreed that low HDL cholesterol can cause atherosclerosis.…”

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a main source of death for generally racial and ethnic gatherings of United States blacks and whites and represents 1 of every 4 passings. Atherosclerosis is a cardiovascular disease and it involves solidifying and narrowing of arteries. It can put the bloodstream into danger and supply routes get blocked. Self administrated questionnaire was designed based on risk factors of atherosclerosis. The questionnaire was distributed through an online survey link. The questionnaire was completed by 100 participants, and the data were analysed using SPSS software. Descriptive statistics and Pearson Chi square test were done to analyze the results of the survey. Majority of the participants are aware of the term atherosclerosis. Most of the participants were aware that hyper cholesterolemia, diabetes, family history and chronic stress are major risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease. The Chi square test showed that the respondents at the age group of 18-25 were more aware of the risk factors than the respondents of other age groups.

One simple claudication question as first step in Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) screening: A meta-analysis of the association with reduced Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) in 27,945 subjects

Purpose and methodsA meta-analysis using data from seven German population-based cohorts was performed by the German Epidemiological consortium of Peripheral Arterial Disease (GEPArD) to investigate whether one question about claudication is more efficient for PAD screening than established questionnaires. Claudication was defined on the basis of the answer to one question asking for pain in the leg during normal walking. This simple question was compared with established questionnaires, including the Edinburgh questionnaire. The associations of claudication with continuous ABI values and decreased ABI were analyzed by linear and logistic regression analysis, respectively. The results of the studies were pooled in a random effect meta-analysis, which included data from 27,945 individuals (14,052 women, age range 20–84 years).ResultsMeta-analysis revealed a significant negative association between claudication and ABI, which was stronger in men (β = -0.07; 95%CI -0.10, -0.04) than in women (β = -0.02; 95%CI -0.02, -0.01). Likewise, the presence of claudication symptoms was related to an increased odds of a decreased ABI in both men (Odds ratio = 5.40; 95%CI 4.20, 6.96) and women (Odds ratio = 1.99; 95%CI 1.58, 2.51).ConclusionsAsking only one question about claudication was able to identify many individuals with a high likelihood of a reduced ABI with markedly higher sensitivity and only slightly reduced specificity compared to more complex questionnaires. At least in men, this question should be established as first screening step.

Atherosclerosis knowledge – diagnosis and management in primary care

Abstract: Our study demonstrates that GPs' knowledge about atherosclerosis disease varies significantly depending on disease location. GPs diagnose correctly but need to be backed up for their management of patients with atherosclerosis.
