PY - 2024 T2 - Vascular and Endovascular Surgery: Clinical Diagnosis and Management AB - The natural course of arterial disease is one of the progression and modification via medical and interventional therapies. Peripheral vascular disease has an estimated prevalence of 12% to 20% with risk factors, such as smoking, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension exacerbating atherosclerosis. The chronicity of peripheral vascular disease requires testing modalities that are repeatable, easily accessible, low cost, and with low risk to the patient. Vascular laboratory testing offers the ability to provide both anatomic and functional information of multiple vascular beds, in a noninvasive cost-effective manner, that can be serially followed over time and is readily available.
