New treatments for peripheral artery disease, including gene therapy and stem cell therapy, are currently being studied in clinical trials. These therapies involve injecting genes or stem cells into cells to correct a genetic defect.

Other studies are being conducted to evaluate the effects of supervised, progressive strength training programs, unsupervised exercise programs, and nutrition in patients who have PAD.

The heart is a hollow, muscular, complex organ that pumps blood throughout the body. It includes four separate chambers, four valves, and an electrical impulse system that work together to receive and distribute blood in a highly organized manner. The heart needs separate chambers and valves to keep oxygenated blood (blood that carries oxygen to the cells of the body) separate from de-oxygenated blood.

The upper chambers of the heart are called the left atrium and right atrium. The upper chambers of the heart receive blood. The lower chambers of the heart are called the left ventricle and the right ventricle. The lower chambers distribute the blood. The right side of the heart receives and sends out de-oxygenated blood and the left side of the heart receives and sends out oxygenated blood.

Dr Jose Poulose Cardiologist: Medications may be used to treat peripheral artery disease. In some cases, mild pain responds to over-the-counter or prescription pain relievers (e.g., acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]). Intermittent claudication also may be treated with pentoxifylline (Trental®) or cilostazol (Pletal®). Side effects of these medications include headache, diarrhea, sore throat, and dizziness.

PAD treatment often requires medication to control medical conditions that contribute to the condition, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Insulin may be used to control blood glucose (sugar) levels in patients who have diabetes.
