Peripheral artery disease, or PAD, affects 8 million Americansâand many donât know they have it. But PAD is a very serious condition that has also been linked to heart attack and stroke if itâs not treated. If you have PAD, blood flow to the arms, legs, kidneys and other vital organs can be limited. Without enough oxygen-rich blood, nerves and tissues in these areas can be injured. Thatâs why, if you have PAD in your legs, it can make walking very difficult; you might have painful cramping or numbness.
PAD is a medical condition caused by blockages of the arteries that provide blood flow to the arms or legs. You may have also heard of this problem referred to as peripheral vascular disease (PVD) or âbad circulation.â In PAD, the arteries become blocked by cholesterol plaque caused by atherosclerosis.ecause PAD-related blockages in the arteries limit blood flow to the legs, patients with PAD have low blood pressures in the ankles. Your physician will use the ratio of the leg pressure to the arm pressure (ankle blood pressure divided by arm blood pressure) to determine whether you have PAD.
