Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a vascular condition characterized by plaque buildup in the arteries of the legs or pelvis, which reduces blood flow to the lower extremities. Common symptoms include difficulty walking, leg cramping, and in advanced stages, rest pain that occurs at night and is only relieved by hanging the leg off the bed. Early recognition of these symptoms is important for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Warren discussing peripheral arterial disease (PAD) #cardiovascularcareAdded:
I'm Dr. Warren, I'll be talking about peripheral artery disease. Peripheral artery disease, also known as PAD, has a lot of signs associated with it, like difficulty walking, cramping, and in the late stages, it can be associated with wounds or pain at night we call rest pain, that's only relieved when we have to hang our leg off the bed. Um if you have any of those signs or symptoms, you might have PAD, which is uh basically plaque build up in the arteries of the leg or pelvis.
