Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is defined by the narrowing of the peripheral arteries to the lower extremities due to the build-up of atherosclerotic plaque (1). PAD affects over 230 million individuals globally and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality (2). PAD is also associated with exercise limitations and accelerated functional decline over time (3).
