Lower leg PVD is a common syndrome that affects a large proportion of most adult populations worldwide, with a prevalence over 10% in people aged more than 40 years and increasingly so in patients with associated risk factors like Coronary Artery Disease, Smoker, Diabetics”, says Dr Shirish (M.S) Hiremath, Director, Dept of Cardiology & Endovascular Intervention, Ruby Hall, Pune.
