Microvascular Function and Ambulatory Capacity in Peripheral Artery Disease | Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions
BACKGROUND: Patients with peripheral artery disease experience walking impairment that is incompletely
explained by large-artery atherosclerotic occlusive disease and abnormal ankle-brachial
index (AB...
