Description

The COPART (COhorte de Patients ARTeriopathes) can be used to evaluate a patient with peripheral arterial disease.


Patient selection: peripheral arterial disease

 

Parameters:

(1) age in years

(2) history of myocardial infarction

(3) C-reactive protein (CRP) in mg/L

(4) ankle to brachial index (ABI)

(5) estimated GFR in mL per min per 1.73 square meter

(6) medications with antiplatelet agents, statins and RAS inhibitors
