FOCUS on Peripheral Arterial Aortic Diseases

September 2024

Table of contents

Peripheral arterial and aortic diseases are highly prevalent and significantly increase cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. The impact and prevalence of these diseases are constantly increasing. However, peripheral arterial and aortic diseases are generally underdiagnosed and undertreated. Efficient preventive and therapeutic measures are needed to improve outcomes. The new 2024 ESC Guidelines for the management of peripheral arterial and aortic diseases merge the approach advocated by the previous peripheral arterial disease and aortic diseases guidelines, and provide unified approaches for prevention and treatment. This month’s FOCUS provides carefully selected resources on best practice around peripheral arterial and aortic diseases. These resources include ESC Congress presentations, webinars, journal articles, and textbook chapters.
