Abstract	BACKGROUND: Hypertension stands at the topmost rank with an overall prevalence of 33% world-wide and 29.8% all over India and is a powerful contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is not only a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases but also has a serious effect on blood vessels triggering damage and narrowing of arteries. For a long time, Peripheral artery disease, is being unrecognized and underestimated by the cardiovascular community. Recently the studies have shown a clear association between hypertension and Peripheral Arterial Disease. As Peripheral Arterial Disease is associated with risk of developing cardiovascular disease early diagnosis of the disease and management is important to decrease the burden on the health care system. Therefore, this study was planned to determine the prevalence and risk factors for Peripheral Arterial Disease in hypertensive individuals amongst the rural population. METHOD: A survey study (n= 80) was conducted amongst patients aged between 50 to 70 years old diagnosed with hypertension. The recruited patients were screened as per the inclusion criteria and was further assessed for demographic data and other details (personal, medical and vascular history, general examination). The patients underwent a detailed assessment consisting of special test to determine arterial insufficiency along with Ankle-Brachial Index testing. An electronic device named Diapodo Care was used to measure ABI. The patient was diagnosed with PAD when the ABI was ≤ 0.90. RESULTS: The study established an overall prevalence of Peripheral Arterial Disease in 23.75% of the total recruited hypertensive patients with a positive correlation between level of physical activity and Ankle- Brachial Index and a negative relation with age, Body mass index, addiction and pulse pressure. Predisposition of disease was established on the basis of gender, age, Body Mass index (BMI), addiction, lifestyle and pulse pressure. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that, a strong association exist between hypertension and peripheral arterial disease. And multiple risk factors such as female gender, older age, increased BMI, presence of addiction, sedentary lifestyle and elevated pulse pressure which predisposes a hypertensive individual to develop Peripheral Arterial disease. And ABI also proves to be an effective, cost efficient and time saving method to diagnose Peripheral Arterial Disease in hypertensive people.
