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.
