Artificial Intelligence in Peripheral Artery Disease

Updated: May 14, 2026

Spectrum of AI applications for vascular health
  • Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is common but often underdiagnosed, as many patients are asymptomatic and disparities in access to care limit detection. These challenges highlight the need for innovative approaches, including artificial intelligence (AI), to enhance diagnosis, risk prediction, and management.
  • Rapid advances in AI enable high-throughput analysis of complex vascular data, such as arterial waveforms, cardiovascular imaging, and clinical variables, creating opportunities to transform vascular care through improved diagnostics, risk assessment, and therapeutic planning.
  • This science advisory provides guidance for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers on the responsible, evidence-based deployment of AI in PAD diagnosis and management.
