Implications of inflammation and sex in lower extremity arterial disease
European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.The graphical abstract illustrates the role of inflammation and sex‐related differences in lower extremity artery disease (LEAD). Key inflammatory biomarkers associated with LEAD include C‐reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), and D‐dimer, which contribute to vascular inflammation and atherosclerotic plaque formation in lower limb ...
