Abstract
Polypharmacy is common among patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with a combination of medications used for risk-factor modification and medical management of the disease itself. Interaction between commonly prescribed medications and nutritional status has not previously been well described. This review aims to critically appraise evidence exploring associations between medications commonly prescribed to patients with PAD and nutritional status and provide recommendations for practice.
