Episode 4
This episode explores peripheral arterial disease as a spectrum of nine distinct phenotypes, each shaped by different underlying comorbidities, anatomical patterns, and management priorities. Rather than treating PAD as one uniform diagnosis, the discussion shows how diabetic PAD, renal PAD, hypertensive PAD, dyslipidaemic PAD, smoker-related disease, polyvascular PAD, inflammatory or autoimmune PAD, hypercoagulable PAD, and structural or mechanical PAD each present differently and demand different diagnostic and referral strategies.
