Health disparities in PAD associated with poor limb and cardiovascular outcomes
Black Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease Have Worse Outcomes
Black patients face higher disease severity at time of diagnosis and more adverse limb events and cardiovascular events following diagnosis

Patients with coronary artery disease or peripheral artery disease with poor diet had higher risks for major adverse cardiovascular and limb events
Black, Poor Patients Present With More Advanced Peripheral Artery Disease
Lower-extremity bypass chronic limb-threatening ischemia increases odds of amputation and other complications
Correlates of Vascular Assessment Prior to Leg Amputation Identified
Veterans with fewer primary care clinic visits, those living 13 miles or more from primary care facility less likely to have assessment
