ABSTRACT

Approximately eight to twelve million individuals in the United States are affected by peripheral arterial disease (PAD). With 200 tables and illustrations and a single focus on peripheral arterial disease (PAD) rather than all vascular disorders, this Handbook is the ultimate clinical care primer for those who seek the most up-to-date and practical PAD clinical strategies. Comprehensive and easy-to-use, the book presents epidemiological and pathophysiological data in succinct format and includes a unique compendium of evidenced-based and expert approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral arterial diseases. The diagnostic and treatment algorithms are derived from the experience of national experts, and should provide guidance to both trainees and practicing clinicians.
