Study Summary

The investigators hypothesize that among people with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD), biomarker levels are higher during time periods immediately preceding an acute coronary event compared to time periods not immediately preceding an acute coronary event. Biomarkers the investigators will study are CRP, SAA, and D-dimer. Biomarkers will be measured at baseline and every two months during follow-up. The primary aims of this study are as follows. Specific Aim #1. Among participants with PAD who experience an acute coronary event during follow-up, the investigators will determine whether biomarker levels measured immediately prior to the coronary event are higher than levels that do not immediately precede coronary events. Specific Aim #2, Part 1. The investigators will determine whether participants who experience a coronary event (cases) have higher biomarker levels at the visit immediately prior to the event than participants who have not experienced a coronary event (controls) at the time of the case event. Specific Aim #2, Part 2. The investigators will determine whether participants who experience a coronary event (cases) have a greater increase in biomarkers during the time period leading up to the event compared to participants who have not experienced a coronary event (controls). To achieve these aims, the investigators will enroll up to 650 participants with PAD and follow them prospectively, measuring blood samples every two months, and ascertaining the presence of acute coronary events every two months.

Primary Outcome

Our primary outcome is fatal and non-fatal coronary events. Non-fatal coronary events will be defined as acute myocardial infarction (MI), hospitalizations for unstable angina, and new ECG findings consistent with MI
