Peripheral Artery Disease Treatment

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

What is PAD?

PAD stands for peripheral artery disease and is also called peripheral vascular disease or PVD.

PAD is a serious medical condition where plaque builds up inside your arteries, causing them to harden, and ultimately block blood flow of oxygenated blood to your legs.

In severe cases of peripheral artery disease, gangrene can develop, which may require amputation. PAD can also lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Common symptoms of PAD include:

PAD Symptoms

The symptoms of PAD can sometimes be chalked up to other things like walking or exercising excessively. Still, other patients have mild or no symptoms at all, sometimes making it difficult to diagnose.  

What are the risk factors for developing PAD?

Smokers and patients with diabetes are at the greatest risk for developing peripheral artery disease since both reduce blood flow. Other risk factors include:

  • Having a family history of heart disease, stroke, or PAD
  • Being overweight or obese
  • Having high blood pressure
  • Having high cholesterol

These risk factors alone will not lead to peripheral artery disease. However, it’s important to keep them in mind, and do what you can to reduce your overall risk.
