Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Aim of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate the prevalence of arterial disease among patients with inguinal hernias. The primary endpoint of this study is to provide new epidemiological evidences on this association that may help physicians in novel preventive strategies. The study will consider the inclusion of consecutive patients assessed for inguinal hernia over 1 year period in order to study the prevalence of concomitant arterial disease, by means of office visit, echo duplex scan of the aorta and its main branches, carotid arteries and lower limb arteries.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Patients with Inguinal hernia
Patients presenting with inguinal hernia will undergo vascular in-office visit and echo duplex of aorta, carotid arteries and lower limb arteries in order to detect any abnormalities related to arterial disease (aneurysm, stenosis, flow alteration).
In-office vascular visit
Every patient will undergo a complete physical examination in order to detect any clinical or sub clinical vascular disease.
Echo duplex scan of arterial system
Every patient will undergo a complete echo duplex scan in order to detect any morphological or hemodynamic alteration of aorta, carotid arteries and lower limb arteries.
