title: Cardiovascular disorders. Diagnostic and therapeutic implications for the podiatric medical practice.
abstract: The cardiovascular system has multiple implications in the podiatric patient. The examination should begin with a complete and careful history. The physical examination should be thorough. Noninvasive evaluation should be performed as indicated with both a static and functional component. Cardiac disease should be investigated in all patients with a history or physical findings consistent with this disorder, such as blue toe syndrome, palpitations, or chest pain.
