Reduced pulses in feet can signal heart disease risks. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a buildup of cholesterol and plaque in the arteries that lead to the extremities. PAD can cause discomfort in your legs and feet, limit your walking and activities, or severe PAD can progress to loss of limb. Your doctor can check for signs of the disease with a simple test of pulses in your feet.
