Pathophysiology and treatment of atherosclerotic disease in peripheral arteries /

This book, edited by Aloke Virmani Finn, delves into the complexities of peripheral artery disease (PAD). It covers various aspects of PAD, including its epidemiology, pathology, and treatment options. The text explores the prevalence and risk factors associated with PAD, as well as the natural hist...
