Scott Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - McGraw-Hill's NAPLEX® Review Guide, 3e AB - Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) encompasses noncardiac systemic atherosclerosis. PAD most commonly manifests in arteries of the lower extremities and may also be present in the carotid, mesenteric, renal, brachiocephalic, and subclavian vasculature. The incidence of PAD increases with age beginning at 40 years. Additional factors identified by the Framingham Heart Study to increase the risk for developing PAD include diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, cigarette smoking, and hypertension (Table 8-1). Patients with PAD have a fourfold increase in coronary artery disease and death compared to individuals without PAD.
