Those with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) require important considerations
with respect to food and nutrition, owing to advanced age, poor diet behaviours
and immobility associated with the disease process and co-morbid state. These
considerations, coupled with the economic effectiveness of medical nutrition
therapy, mandate that dietetic care plays a vital role in the management of PAD.
Despite this, optimising dietetic care in PAD remains poorly understood. This
narrative review considers the role of medical nutrition therapy in every stage
of the PAD process, ranging from the onset and initiation of disease to well
established and advanced disease. In each case, the potential benefits of
traditional and novel medical nutrition therapy are discussed.
