About Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
In the United States alone, more than 8 million individuals aged 40 and older battle peripheral artery disease (PAD), also referred to as peripheral arterial disease. This condition is a consequence of atherosclerosis, a condition in which the accumulation of plaque restricts the blood flow within the peripheral arteries. These arteries are pivotal as they carry blood from the heart to various parts of the body. The spotlight of this health discussion centers on the prevalent form of PAD known as "lower extremity PAD," which directly impacts the blood circulation to the legs and feet.
A clear indicator of lower extremity PAD manifests as muscular pain or weakness that emerges during physical activities, notably walking, and dissipates shortly after resting. Recognizing the significance, it's crucial to acknowledge that if lower extremity PAD is present, there is a likelihood of plaque accumulation in other arteries connected to the heart and brain, thereby raising the potential for both stroke or heart attack; as well as amputations and other serious complications.
Timely identification and effective management of PAD play a pivotal role in addressing symptoms and mitigating the risk of severe complications.
