Longitudinal Pathways Between Physical Activity, Depression, and Perceived Stress in Peripheral Artery Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

One-fifth of the patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) experience depression and stress. Depression and stress may impact patients' abilities to be physically active, a key recommendation for supporting overall PAD management to improve symptoms and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. We aimed to study interrelationships between 1-year longitudinal trajectories of depression, stress, and physical activity following a PAD diagnosis.

Methods

Patients with new or worsening PAD symptoms enrolled at 10 US PORTRAIT study (Patient-Centered Outcomes Related to Treatment Practices in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Investigating Trajectories) vascular specialty clinics (CT, LA, MI, MO, NC, OH, and RI) were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months between June 2
