摘要
Atherosclerosis in a progressive disease that is systemic in nature, and hence the simultaneous presentation of coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) is not uncommon. As clinically manifested PAD is associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes, the timely identification of subclinical atherosclerosis seems of utmost importance. Ultrasonography (US) is an ideal imaging modality for assessing PAD that is easy to use, accurate, widely available and avoids unnecessary exposure to radiation. Several US parameters have been proposed in the assessment of PAD, with varying prognostic usefulness, depending on disease location. The aim of this review is to summarize the most important evidence available on the association between US-detected atherosclerosis in different vascular sites and the presence and severity of CAD, as well as the impact of the early detection of PAD on the outcomes of patients presenting with CAD.
