ABSTRACT
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis characterized by inadequate tissue perfusion due to arterial narrowing or occlusion. Cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, and chronic kidney disease contribute to accelerated atherogenesis and adverse clinical outcomes. This study aimed to describe the cardiovascular risk profile of hospitalized patients with PAD at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. This retrospective descriptive study analyzed 61 medical records of PAD inpatients treated between January 2021 and August 2022. Patients were selected using a total sampling technique. Data on demographics, clinical characteristics, and cardiovascular risk factors were collected and analyzed using univariate descriptive statistics. The mean patient age was 60 years, with a predominance of males (57.4%). Acute limb ischemia was the most frequent clinical presentation (65.6%). Most patients had prehypertensive blood pressure and were classified as overweight. Hypertension was the most prevalent cardiovascular risk factor (67.2%), followed by diabetes mellitus (57.4%), smoking (50.8%), and obesity (42.6%). Dyslipidemia (8.2%) and chronic kidney disease (9.8%) were less frequent. PAD inpatients were predominantly elderly males with acute limb ischemia, and hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and smoking were the most common cardiovascular risk factors. These findings emphasize the need for early risk factor identification and aggressive management to prevent further complications.
