Peripheral Arterial Disease
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) or Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a disease of the peripheral blood vessels characterized by narrowing and hardening of the arteries that supply the legs and feet. The decreased blood flow results in nerve and tissue damage to the extremities.
PAD/PVD is a highly prevalent, under diagnosed, under treated disease. PAD/PVD has a gradual onset, initially asymptomatic until secondary complications develop. Surprisingly, 50 percent of people with PAD have no symptoms while 40 to 50 percent may present atypical, non-specific leg complaints.
Although Peripheral Arterial Disease is serious, it is treatable. Treatment may slow or stop disease progress and reduce the risk of complications. Treatments include lifestyle changes, quitting smoking, medicine, and surgery or procedures.
