Peripheral arterial disease (P.A.D.) is a disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to the head, organs, and limbs. Plaque contains cholesterol, fat, fibrous tissue, calcium, and other substances in the blood. Plaque can harden and narrow in the arteries over time, limiting the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the organs and other parts of the body, a condition called atherosclerosis.
Many people with P.A.D. have no symptoms or mistake their symptoms for something else. Symptoms of severe P.A.D. are:
The causes of P.A.D. include smoking, high cholesterol or high triglycerides, high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney failure, and obesity. Genetic factors also play a role, but are not well understood.
This is a common disease associated with poor health and could lead to death. Managing P.A.D. requires a comprehensive approach to the patient with emphasis on cardiovascular risk factor modification, along with therapies directed at the treatment of limb symptoms.
