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>

  1. Coronary artery disease
  2. Atherosclerotic chasnges
  3. Embolization
  4. Thrombus formation
  5. Increased coagunility of blood
  6. Hypertension
  7. 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.
