Abstract 177: Heterogeneity in Blood Pressure Management in Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease; Insights From the PORTRAIT Registry [Session Title: Poster Session AM]

Conclusion: The prevalence of HTN among PAD patients with new or worsening symptoms was high independent of BP cut off. Based on new HTN definition, only 1 in 3 HTN patients in this cohort have controlled BP. There was significant heterogeneity in BP control and rates of untreated hypertension differed by country independent of HTN definition. This suggests an opportunity to improve BP control in PAD patients.
