Despite this, PVD remains a disease with which many health professionals are not familiar with. This book on peripheral vascular disease will help health professionals of different disciplines and training apply the resources and treatment adequately to benefit individual people with PVD. The authors of this book provide a description of the relevant vascular anatomy and physiology, a focused review of diagnostic methods used in screening for PVD, and recent medical and interventional treatments used for PVD.
