- Abstract
The article discusses a study which hypothesized that onychomycosis (OM) is a predictor of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD has been linked with increased risks for premature mortality and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. It found that the prevalence of PAD and diabetes was higher in patients with OM than in people without OM.
