• Fat deposits accumulate and will cause Fat deposits accumulate and will cause endothelial injury that will initiate the endothelial injury that will initiate the inflammatory processinflammatory process
• Formation of fibrous plaque by platelets Formation of fibrous plaque by platelets
• Calcification of the arterial wall Calcification of the arterial wall (this is the (this is the cause of atherosclerosis)cause of atherosclerosis)
• Fat by itself is Fat by itself is NOT NOT harmfulharmful
• Rupture of the wall will cause Rupture of the wall will cause clotting(atherothrombosis) clotting(atherothrombosis) >> this what we >> this what we are worrying about are worrying about

Why it is important to recognize Why it is important to recognize patients with PAD?patients with PAD?
PAD is a marker of PAD is a marker of systemicsystemic atherosclerosis atherosclerosis
Patients with either symptomatic or Patients with either symptomatic or asymptomatic PAD generally have asymptomatic PAD generally have widespread widespread arterial diseasearterial disease
