Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

Peripheral artery disease is a problem involving the blood vessels of your extremities; and just like the coronary arteries located in your heart, the legs are susceptible to atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the buildup of fat and cholesterol deposits inside the vessel wall causing blockages that decrease blood flow. Ischemia occurs when you are not getting enough blood flow to your body’s tissue. This can lead to a multitude of problems; therefore lifestyle modifications are crucial to prevention. Several risk factors can lead to the development of atherosclerosis and PAD including; Smoking, obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle or family history. Pain in the lower extremity felt with walking a short distance is the classic symptom of PAD.
