Abstract
AIMS This systematic review aims to evaluate and summarize findings from published meta-analyses on the effects of regular exercise in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The review will assess the impact of exercise on functional parameters, health-related quality of life, haemodynamic parameters, physical activity levels, adverse events, and mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases (up to May 2023) to identify meta-analyses including randomized controlled trials that examined the effects of regular exercise in patients with PAD. Sixteen studies, with a total of 198 meta-analyses, were identified. Results revealed with strong evidence that patients with PAD who exercised improved functional and health-related quality of life parameters. Specifically, supervised aerobic exercise (i.e. walking to moderate-maximum claudication pain) improves maximum walking distance [mean difference (MD): 177.94 m, 95% confidence interval (CI) 142.29-213.60; P < 0.00001; I2: 65%], pain-free walking distance (fixed MD: 68.78 m, 95% CI 54.35-83.21; P < 0.00001; I2: 67%), self-reported walking ability [i.e. distance score (MD: 9.22 points, 95% CI 5.74-12.70; P < 0.00001; I2: 0%), speed score (MD: 8.71 points, 95% CI 5.64-11.77; P < 0.00001, I2: 0%), stair-climbing score (MD: 8.02 points, 95% CI 4.84-11.21; P < 0.00001, I2: 0%), and combined score (MD: 8.76 points, 95% CI 2.78-14.74; P < 0.0001, I2: 0%)], aerobic capacity (fixed MD: 0.62 mL/kg/min, 95% CI 0.47-0.77, P < 0.00001, I2: 64%), and pain score (MD: 7.65, 95% CI 3.15-12.15; P = 0.0009; I2: 0%), while resistance exercise improves lower limb strength (standardized mean difference: 0.71, 95% CI 0.29-1.13, P = 0.0009; I2: 0%]. Regarding other outcomes, such as haemodynamic parameters, no significant evidence was found, while physical activity levels, adverse events, and mortality require further investigation. CONCLUSION Synthesis of the currently available meta-analyses suggests that regular exercise may be beneficial for a broad range of functional tasks improving health-related quality of life in patients with PAD. Supervised aerobic exercise is the best type of exercise to improve walking-related outcomes and pain, while resistance exercise is more effective to improve lower limb strength.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, PLWH) have an increased risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in comparison to the general population. However, a gap remains in understanding optimal management for this condition. This study assesses longitudinal outcomes associated with peripheral endovascular intervention (PVI) for PAD among PLWH. METHODS All Medicare fee-for-service patients undergoing femoropopliteal artery PVI between April 1, 2015 and December 31, 2018 were identified and stratified by HIV serostatus. The primary outcome was major adverse limb events (MALE), defined as major amputation or arterial embolism/thrombosis following an index procedure. The subdistribution hazard was used to evaluate the association between HIV serostatus and MALE, accounting for the competing risk of death. Results were adjusted for sociodemographics and major comorbidities. RESULTS Of 168,553 patients who underwent PVI, 357 (0.21%) were PLWH. The average age was 77.0 ± 7.6 years; 80.3% had hypertension, 70.3% had hyperlipidemia, and 24.6% had tobacco use disorder. Compared to those without HIV, PLWH were younger and had a higher burden of cardiovascular risk factors. MALE were substantially more frequent among PLWH, with a cumulative incidence of 24.6%, compared to 14.5% among those without HIV. The adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio was 1.26 (95% CI 1.00-1.58, p = 0.05). The use of guideline-directed statin therapy was low in both groups in the 90 days following revascularization (57.9% in PLWH vs 58.1% in those without HIV, p = 0.95). CONCLUSION Among US Medicare beneficiaries, PLWH had poorer long-term outcomes following PVI. Greater attention to the management of symptomatic PAD is warranted for the HIV population, particularly following revascularization.

Abstract
Objective To determine the impacts of concurrent aerobic and resistance training on vascular structure (IMT) and function (PWV, FMD, NMD) in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods The electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus were systematically searched for articles on "type 2 diabetes" and "concurrent training" published from inception to August 2, 2022. We included randomized controlled trials that examined the effects of concurrent training versus passive controls on IMT, PWV, FMD and NMD in T2D. Results Ten studies were eligible, including a total of 361 participants. For IMT, concurrent training showed a slight decrease by 0.05 mm (95% CI -0.11 to 0.01, p > 0.05). concurrent training induced an overall significant improvement in FMD by 1.47% (95% CI 0.15 to 2.79, p < 0.05) and PWV by 0.66 m/s (95% CI -0.89 to -0.43, p < 0.01) in type 2 diabetics. However, concurrent training seemed to exaggerate the impaired NMD (WMD = -2.30%, 95% CI -4.02 to -0.58, p < 0.05). Conclusions Concurrent training is an effective method to improve endothelial function and artery stiffness in T2D. However, within 24 weeks concurrent training exacerbates vascular smooth muscle dysfunction. More research is needed to explore whether longer and/or higher-intensity concurrent training interventions could enhance the vascular structure and smooth muscle function in this population.

Cost-Effectiveness of Exercise Therapy in Patients with Intermittent Claudication-A Comparison of Supervised Exercise, Home-Based Structured Exercise, and Walk Advice from the SUNFIT Trial.

Abstract
Hospital-based supervised exercise (SEP) is a guideline-recommended intervention for patients with intermittent claudication (IC). However, due to the limited availability of SEP, home-based structured exercise programs (HSEP) have become increasingly popular alongside the "go home and walk" advice. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of walk advice (WA) with Nordic pole walking vs. SEP combined with WA or HSEP combined with WA. We used data from the SUNFIT RCT (NCT02341716) to measure quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) over a 12-month follow-up, and economic costs were obtained from a hospital cost-per-patient accounting system. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were calculated, and uncertainty was assessed using nonparametric bootstrapping. The average health-care-cost per patient was similar in the WA (EUR 1781, n = 51) and HSEP (EUR 1820, n = 48) groups but higher in the SEP group (EUR 4619, n = 50, p-value < 0.01). Mean QALYs per patient during the follow-up were similar with no statistically significant differences. The findings do not support SEP as a cost-effective treatment for IC, as it incurred significantly higher costs without providing additional health improvements over WA with or without HSEP during the one-year observation period. The analysis also suggested that HSEP may be cost-effective compared to WA, but only with a 64% probability.

Abstract
Vascular diseases, such as peripheral artery disease (PAD), are associated with diabetes mellitus and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and even death. Surgical revascularization and pharmacological treatments (mainly antiplatelet, lipid-lowering drugs, and antidiabetic agents) have some effectiveness, but the response and efficacy of therapy are overly dependent on the patient’s conditions. Thus, the demand for new cures exists. In this regard, new studies on natural polyphenols that act on key points involved in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases and, thus, on PAD are of great urgency. The purpose of this review is to take into account the mechanisms that lead to endothelium dysfunction, such as the glycoxidation process and the production of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) that result in protein misfolding, and to suggest plant-derived polyphenols that could be useful in PAD. Thus, five polyphenols are considered, baicalein, curcumin, mangiferin, quercetin and resveratrol, reviewing the literature in PubMed. The key molecular mechanisms and preclinical and clinical studies of each selected compound are examined. Furthermore, the safety profiles of the polyphenols are outlined, together with the unwanted effects reported in humans, also by searching the WHO database (VigiBase).
