This test helps identify individuals at higher risk of PAD progression. The score takes into account factors such as gender, age, serum cholesterol, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and CHD. It aids clinicians in early intervention and preventive care strategies before the condition worsens to critical limb ischemia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Intermittent Claudication Risk Score Calculator helps assess the likelihood of developing symptoms of peripheral artery disease (PAD) over the next 4 years.
