Peripheral arterial disease is a common manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis that is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. When presented in the context of an acute coronary syndrome a differential diagnosis with aorta dissection should be made, because peripheral arterial disease may be asymptomatic despite the absence or asymmetry of femoral pulses.
外周动脉疾病是全身动脉粥样硬化的常见表现，与心血管风险增加相关。当在急性冠状动脉综合征的背景下出现时，应与主动脉夹层进行鉴别诊断，因为尽管股动脉搏动缺失或不对称，但外周动脉疾病可能无症状。
