  • Title: Atherosclerosis: a major cause of peripheral vascular disease.
    Author: Fagan-Dubin L.
    Journal: Nurs Clin North Am; 1977 Mar; 12(1):101-8. PubMed ID: 585006.
    Abstract:
    Atherosclerosis is one of the most common causes of peripheral vascular disease. Complications result from arteries compromised because of focal accumulations of lipids and other materials within and between cells in the vessel walls. Factors including hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, physical inactivity, smoking, social stress, and genetic background have been implicated as promoting a higher risk of atherosclerosis and its consequences.
