Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is common disease and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. PAD is caused due to fatty deposition on artery walls that leads to narrowing of the arteries and blockage in the main blood vessels of the lower limb, which may results in discomfort or pain in the legs during walk, as well as poor quality life and an increased risk of death because of heart and cerebrovascular diseases [1-6]. Risk factors for PAD are shown in Figure 1. The main aim of this review is to focus on the status and progress of screening for peripheral arterial disease.
