Introduction
The prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is estimated to be 3–13%
worldwide and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in affected individu-
als [1]. It is also a marker of systemic atherosclerosis. Careful history and physi-
cal examination allow for early diagnosis and implementation of interventions
to modify the risk of morbidity and mortality.
The effective medical interview allows for the exchange of pertinent
information in addition to building a therapeutic alliance with the patient.
The diagnosis of PAD can be identified on the basis of a good medical history.
If leg discomfort is not clearly vascular in origin, a differential diagnosis can
be formulated and then further narrowed down by thoughtful physical
examination.
Identifying At-Risk Individuals
Multiple risk factors for PAD have been identified. It is important to identify
the presence of these risk factors in each patient not only for risk assessment
for PAD but also for risk modification.
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in the
United States found that an ankle–brachial index (ABI) ≤ 0.90 was more com-
mon in non‐Hispanic blacks (7.8%) than in whites (4.4%) [2]. This difference
was independent of traditional risk factors [3]. The prevalence of PAD increases
with age in both men and women progressively after the age of 40 years. The
prevalence of PAD, according to NHANES, is about 0.9% in individuals

between the ages 40–49 years. The prevalence increases to 23.3% in individuals
over 80 years of age [4].
According to the NHANES data, current smoking is associated with an
increased risk of PAD (odds ratio = 3.39) [5]. Furthermore, a diagnosis of PAD
is made approximately a decade earlier in smokers than in non‐smokers. The
severity of PAD tends to increase with the number of cigarettes smoked [2].
The Edinburgh Artery Study found a decreased risk of claudication for patients
who stopped smoking compared with those who continued to smoke [6].
Diabetics are at an increased risk for PAD. It is estimated that for every 1%
increase in hemoglobin A1c, there is a corresponding 26% increased risk of
PAD [7]. In the Framingham study, a fasting total cholesterol level 270 mg/dL
was associated with a doubling of the incidence of intermittent claudication,
and for each 40 mg/dL increase in total serum cholesterol, the odds of develop-
ing symptomatic PAD increased by 1.2 [8]. Statin therapy was shown to
decrease vascular mortality by 17% [9].
Regional Symptom Analysis
Neurologic Symptoms
Cerebrovascular accidents in the form of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or
stroke are frequently a manifestation of vascular disease. TIA is defined as a
transient episode of neurologic dysfunction caused by focal brain, spinal
cord, or retinal ischemia, without acute infarction. Ischemic stroke is, on the
other hand, defined as infarction of central nervous system tissue. This defi-
nition, which is endorsed by the 2009 guidelines of the American Heart
Association and American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA), is a departure
from the classic definition of TIA focal neurologic symptom and/or sign last-
ing less than 24 hours. This tissue‐centric definition emphasizes that there is
a risk of permanent tissue injury (i.e., infarction) even when the focal neuro-
logic symptoms are transient [10]. The specific neurologic deficits can typi-
cally be categorized as anterior circulation or posterior circulation events
(Figure 2.1) [11].
Amaurosis fugax, or transient monocular blindness, occurs when a plaque
travels from the proximal aorta or internal carotid artery to the ipsilateral oph-
thalmic artery. Patients will frequently report monocular vision loss that begins
as haziness in the upper fields and progresses downward, like “a veil” or “a
shade being drawn.” The vision loss usually only lasts for a few seconds or min-
utes [12]. When amaurosis fugax is secondary to carotid artery disease, the
annual risk of stroke is estimated to be 2–3% [13].
The vertebral arteries normally originate from the proximal subclavian arter-
ies, as such disease of the subclavian or innominate arteries proximal to the
