prospective interventional study. The aim is to analyse the effect of usual ongoing treatments over the microvascular cutaneous response to galvanic current application (Current induced vasodilation ; CIV) on the forearm of subjects referred for ultrasound investigations due to suspicion of peripheral artery disease. Hypothesis is that the use of aspirin (even at low dose) abolishes the response .
