Answer:
b. Coronary artery disease
Explanation:
Peripheral vascular disease is characterized by a reduction in blood flow and hence Oxygen through the peripheral vessels. WHen the needs of the tissues for oxygen exceeds the supply, areas of ischemia and necrosis will develop.
<u>Risk factors include :</u>
- Coronary artery disease
- Atherosclerotic chasnges
- Embolization
- Thrombus formation
- Increased coagunility of blood
- Hypertension
- Inflammatory process/infection
Evidence of coronary artery disease insists that other wessels are also diseased, hence it is a risk factor.Conversely, peripheral vascular disease , if present , is also a risk factor for coronary artery disease, and if present, it should be considered in reduction of cardiac risk factors.
