Found it for free at my old job. Interesting read. People pay a lot of attention to coronary artery disease, but forget or do not realize that the same disease process can happen in any of their vascular beds (peripheral arteries, cerebral arteries, etc). This was a useful introduction to the world of diagnostic and treatment options for peripheral artery disease, ranging from the ones I'm likely to use in clinical practice (ankle-brachial index, ultrasound with color flow Doppler) to fancier things that are just interesting to learn about (magnetic resonance angiography, CTA, intravascular ultrasound).
