Abstract
countries and increasing in low-income ones, involving more than the 20% of subjects older than 80 years in high-income countries. Its diagnosis is, however, yet largely undertaken and delayed, with a large risk to loose the possibility of an effective management. While PAD risk factors are well-known and overlapping with those for coronary artery disease (CAD), the epidemiological association between PAD, CAD/stroke and mortality is yet conflicting. This relationship is deeply examined in the interesting paper published by Matsushita et al. in this issue of Atherosclerosis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
