Aims: The deleterious nature of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is compounded by a status
of underdiagnosed and undertreated disease. We evaluated the prevalence and predictive …

Objective Peripheral artery disease (PAD) identifies individuals at high risk for future
cardiovascular disease (CVD) warranting aggressive risk reduction therapies. PAD can be …
