Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is when your arteries begin to narrow. It's a common problem that affects 9% of the population, but will only cause symptoms or problems in a quarter of those people. How it develops Arteries carry blood away from the heart and supply essential nutrients and oxygen to every part of your body.
PAD is narrowing of one or more blood vessels (arteries). It mainly affects arteries that take blood to your legs. (Arteries to the arms are rarely affected and are not dealt with further in this leaflet.) The condition is also known as peripheral vascular disease (PVD). It is also sometimes called hardening of the arteries of the legs. In the UK, around 1 in 5 men and 1 in 8 women aged 50-75 years have PAD.
