This study is investigating how to better care for people with severe leg circulation problems (when blocked arteries threaten the health of the leg). Researchers will track patients over one year to see how many need amputation, and will test whether special assessments—including heart imaging and blood tests—can help predict which patients are at highest risk.
Severe leg circulation disease causes thousands of amputations every year worldwide, which dramatically affects people's ability to walk and live independently. This research aims to find better ways to predict outcomes and prevent amputation in these vulnerable patients.

You will be enrolled when you arrive at the hospital with severe leg circulation problems. Your medical team will collect information about your condition and track your health outcomes over one year. Depending on your age and condition, you may also have a heart imaging scan (MRI), answer questions about your physical and mental function, or provide blood samples for future research. Some visits will happen during your regular medical appointments, while specialized tests (like the heart scan) would be scheduled separately.
