Introduction Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are often underdiagnosed and undertreated. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of the recommended target levels of blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin A1C, and knowledge and attitude about PAD risk reduction therapies among physicians working in primary care settings in Saudi Arabia. Methods This observational cross-sectional study included family medicine consultants, residents, and general practitioners working in a health cluster in the capital city of Saudi Arabia using a self-administered questionnaire. Results Of the 129 physicians who completed the survey, 55% had completed PAD-related continuing medical education hours within the past 2 years. Despite this, the knowledge score of the recommended target levels was high in only 13.2% of the participants. Antiplatelet therapy was prescribed by 68.2% of the participants. Conclusion Here we identified the knowledge and action gaps among primary care providers in Saudi Arabia. Physicians had an excellent attitude about screening for and counseling about risk factors. However, they showed less interference in reducing these risk factors. We recommend addressing these knowledge gaps early in medical school and residency programs.
