Summary
This study looks at how narrowed leg arteries (peripheral artery disease) might affect heart function. Researchers will use advanced heart ultrasound to measure subtle changes in heart muscle strain in 162 participants. They will also check for links to metabolism and organ damage. The goal is to better understand the heart risks tied to leg artery disease.
