Key Points

The research aims to highlight the underrepresentation of Gulf region patients in peripheral artery disease trials and the need for region-specific studies.
Conducted a comprehensive literature review of existing peripheral artery disease trials
Analyzed demographic and clinical differences between Gulf and Western populations
Identified the need for culturally adapted outcome measures and local risk assessment models
Existing trials predominantly feature Western populations, which limits their applicability to Gulf patients.
Gulf region patients present with higher prevalence and earlier onset of diabetes, necessitating region-specific approaches.
Genetic factors such as high consanguinity and familial hypercholesterolemia challenge generalized treatment strategies.
