Criteria are studies that provide a novel insight into the mechanism of lower extremity atherosclerosis; mechanisms of progression; detection of P.A.D. in populations; the impact of PAD on limb symptoms or quality of life; psychosocial effects of the disease; economic or health services impact; or impact of this disease on systemic rates of myocardial infarction, stroke, or amputation.
