Differentiating between the 2 concepts is important in order to establish the therapeutic indication and the prognosis in patients with PAD.[revespcardiol.org]
Expectations (prognosis) The prognosis depends on the underlying disease and the stage at which peripheral vascular disease is discovered. Removal of risk factors, such as smoking, should be done immediately.[rjmatthewsmd.com]
