title: [Prevention and treatment of extremity vascular ischemic disease].
abstract: Extremitovascular ischemic disease (peripheral arterial disease of extremities - PAD) is an important manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis and other arterial diseases of vascular system. The lower the anklebrachial pressure index, the greater the risk of serious cardiovascular events (e.g., acute myocardial infarction, stroke).
