The key issue when it comes to the near-term risk of a heart attack is whether you already have coronary artery disease and how much of it. It’s not a good test for assessing for plaque in the arteries. When I say the near term, I am talking about 5 to 10 years. When I say long-term, I mean 50 years. Which is good.

PAD is a serious, progressive cardiovascular disease primarily caused by a buildup of fatty plaque in the blood vessels, or atherosclerosis. This plaque narrows the blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the legs and feet, which may significantly impair physical function, walking performance and quality of life.
