Microvasculature Imaging Shows Promise for Peripheral Artery Disease Management
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the narrowing of blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to the arms, hands, legs, and feet. Often associated with poor outcomes such as amputation, cardiac arrest, and mortality, PAD remains a significant disorder globally with limited understanding of risk factors for its development and severity. Recent studies have identified microvasculature health as important to the pathogenesis and outcomes of PAD.

Patient Mortality With Antiplatelet Therapy and Tracheostomy Use
Patients with respiratory failure who require invasive mechanical ventilation for extended periods of time may require a tracheostomy, a ventilatory mechanism through the trachea. Acute myocardial infarction patients require an antiplatelet regimen to thin the blood and prohibit clumping in the arteries. This antiplatelet regimen often cannot be stopped and may increase the risk of bleeding from tracheostomy.
