This 30-minute module aims to update GPs about minimizing cardiovascular risk in complex patients with peripheral artery disease. This includes strategies to reduce future risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and major adverse limb events (MALE). This module will also discuss the management of deprescribing medications in older cardiovascular patients with frailty.
