Abstract: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is underdiagnosed, undertreated, poorly comprehended, and a lot more typical than previously thought. Approximately 12% of the adult population has PAD, and the frequency is equal in men and women. This comprehensive review was aiming to discuss the peripheral artery disease (PAD), and especially the diagnosis procedures and treatment approaches to this disease. A comprehensive search was carried out through electronic databases; MEDLINE up to November 2016, and EMBASE and of reference lists to identify possible additional studies concerning the peripheral artery disease diagnosis and treatment. Possible studies for inclusion were independently assessed for suitability by authors and any lack of clarity or disagreement was resolved by discussion. PAD is a significant health issue and is related to increased cardiovascular morbidity and death. The ABI is an effective and simple test for identifying PAD. Management of PAD includes therapies to enhance measures and signs to reduce cardiovascular events. All patients with PAD need to receive an antiplatelet representative, statins to lower LDL below 100 mg/dL, and optimal therapy for hypertension and diabetes.
