Peripheral artery Disease (PAD) is a major cardiovascular disease that can impair quality of life (QoL). It affects more often male patients and its pathophysiology is not completely known. Probably androgen receptors and metabolism alteration may play an important role in the onset and in the progression of PAD towards its dreadful complications.
