Epidemiology of Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease
Epidemiologie ischemické choroby dolních končetin
Mezi nejzávažnější onemocnění v angiologii patří ischemická choroba dolních končetin. Prevalence tohoto onemocnění je méně než 2 % u mužů mladších 50 let a zvyšuje se na 5 % u mužů nad 70 let. Ženy dosahují těchto hodnot zhruba o 10 let později. Závažnost ischemické choroby dolních končetin spočívá především v současném aterosklerotickém postižení koronárních a mozkových tepen. Nejčastější příčinou úmrtí nemocných s ischemickou chorobou dolních končetin je onemocnění věnčitých tepen (40–60 %), postižení mozkových tepen je příčinou úmrtí u 10–20 % nemocných, ostatní vaskulární příčiny, nejčastěji ruptura aneuryzmatu, jsou příčinou smrti u 10 % nemocných. Zbývajících 20–30 % umírá na nekardiovaskulární onemocnění.
Klíčová slova:
ischemická choroba dolních končetin, incidence, prevalence, ateroskleróza.

Overview
The most serious problem in angiology is peripheral arterial occlusive disease. The prevalence of this disease is 2 % in men under 50 years of age and 5 % in men over 70 years of age. Women reach the same numbers approximately 10 years later. The most serious consequence is that in many cases patients with PAOD have also coronary disease and ischemic brain disease. The most common cause of death in patients with PAOD is coronary artery disease (40–60 %); ischemic stroke develops as a cause of death in 10-20% of the patients. About 20-30% of the patients die due to noncardiac factors.
Key words:
peripheral occlusive disease, incidence, prevalence, atherosclerosis.
