Peripheral Artery Disease is a circulatory condition usually caused by the buildup of fatty deposits and calcium in the walls of the arteries.

Chapter Two describes how lifestyle changes play an important role in the management of diabetes and peripheral artery disease. Chapter Three explains the role of the family physician in risk management of peripheral artery disease. Lastly, Chapter Four focuses on questionnaires for primary care physicians, which can be used for peripheral arterial disease symptom screening and assessing functional impairment and quality of life of patients.
