Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Identify Characteristics of Plaque Build-Up in People With Peripheral Arterial Disease

NCT00520312 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 519

Summary

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a disease in which fatty build-up, or "plaque," accumulates in the peripheral arteries. People with PAD often experience leg pain while walking due to reduced blood flow to the legs. This study will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to examine how specific features of plaque build-up in the leg arteries affect walking ability, leg strength, and balance in people with PAD.
