Abstract
Peripheral artery disease is most often caused by atherosclerosis. Arterial insufficiency from atherosclerotic blockages in the limbs can impair walking distance and put patients with severe disease at risk of limb loss. Management of the disease centers around early diagnosis, supervised exercise therapy and lifestyle modification, optimizing medical care (with the goal of reducing fatal cardiac and cerebrovascular events), and revascularization.
