Vascular Days – Peripheral Artery Disease – Non-Invasive Imaging
Nowadays, partly due to the rising prevalence of obesity and diabetes, vascular diseases are increasingly common in many countries around the world. The most common vascular diseases include peripheral artery disease (PAD), carotid artery disease, and aortic aneurysm disease. Aortic aneurysm ranks globally among the top ten causes of cardiovascular deaths and is a leading cause of mortality from large vessel diseases.
