Video Summary
The speaker, a vascular surgeon, discusses the disparities in peripheral artery disease (PAD) between men and women. They highlight that awareness of PAD is low in both sexes, but studies show that women are more likely to have PAD. However, there is limited epidemiologic data and understanding of specific risk factors in women. Additionally, women are less likely to receive optimal medical therapy and are undertreated compared to men. Clinical trials on PAD mostly involve men, and there is a lack of gender-based analysis. The speaker emphasizes the need for further research, diagnostic assessments, and trials focusing on women's cardiovascular health to address these disparities.
