T2  - Peripheral Arterial Disease
AB  - Peripheral  arterial  disease  (PAD)  of  the  lower  extremities  affects  nearly  8  to  12  million  adults  in  the  United  States.1  The  age-adjusted  prevalence  of  PAD  is  approximately  12%  and  accounts  for  significant  morbidity  and  health  care  expenditure  among  the  elderly.  This  disorder  affects  men  and  women  equally.2,3,4,5  Symptomatic  PAD  causes  functional  impairment  and  reduced  mobility,  and  asymptomatic  PAD  may  eventually  progress  to  symptomatic  PAD.  Regardless  of  symptom  status,  PAD  predicts  future  cardiovascular  events  such  as  myocardial  infarction  (MI),  stroke,  and  death.
