These state-of-the-art chapters summarize in a comprehensive manner emerging knowledge about this important area of medicine. The pathophysiology and treatment of peripheral artery (PAD) disease remains poorly understood even by practitioners. Often it is assumed that PAD should be treated in a similar fashion to coronary artery disease (CAD) when in fact recent data suggest a distinct pathophysiology with genetic risk having some but not complete overlap with CAD. This is a novel reference of emerging data on the factors behind its development and progression, detection, and treatment suggest an emerging paradigm for this disease.Provides understanding for the pathophysiology of PAD from pathologic and molecular perspectivesReviews state-of-the art modalities for its detection as well as the data surrounding new medical and interventional treatment for PADElucidates the impact of new treatment modalities such as drug coated balloons and atherectomy devices such a lithotripsy
