Introduction to Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

According to the Mayo Clinic, “Peripheral Artery Disease is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs.”

What happens when you develop P.A.D. is your extremities, like your legs, don’t get enough blood flow to function properly. Symptoms that develop can be:

• Painful cramping in your hip, thigh, or calf muscles after an activity, such as walking. This is called Intermittent Claudication.
• Leg numbness or weakness
• Cold lower leg or foot
• Sores on your feet or legs that don’t heal
• Hair loss or slow hair growth on your feet and legs
• Color changes in your legs
• Shiny skin on your legs
• Erectile dysfunction in men

Short Description of Peripheral Artery Disease

Peripheral Artery Disease or PAD is a common issue in the circulatory system where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow going to and from the limbs. It may also be a sign of the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries.

Symptoms of Peripheral Artery Disease

• Painful cramping in one or both of your hips, thighs, or calf muscles after certain activities, such as walking or climbing stairs
• Leg numbness or weakness
• Coldness in your lower leg or foot, especially when compared with the other side
• Sores on your toes, feet, or legs that won’t heal
• A change in the color of your legs
• Hair loss or slower hair growth on your feet and legs
• Slower growth of your toenails
• Shiny skin on your legs
• No pulse or a weak pulse in your legs or feet
• Erectile dysfunction in men
• Pain when using your arms, such as aching and cramping when knitting, writing or doing other manual tasks

About Peripheral Artery Disease

Peripheral artery disease or PAD refers to the narrowing or blockage of blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the legs. It is mainly due to the build-up of fatty plaque within the arteries and is called atherosclerosis. PAD may occur in any blood vessel but is more commonly seen in the legs rather than the arms. When the arteries become narrowed or blocked with a blood clot, there is not enough blood to pass through that can adequately nourish vital organs and other tissues.

Etiology of Peripheral Artery Disease

The main cause of peripheral artery disease is atherosclerosis, an accumulation of fatty plaque in the blood vessel walls. Risk Factors of PAD are many but the number one is smoking. As a matter of fact, 80% of people with PAD are actually people who currently or were smokers in the past. Additional risk factors include:

• Using tobacco products (the most potent risk factor)
• Having diabetes
• Being age 50 and older
• Being African-American
• Having a personal or family history of heart or blood vessel disease
• Having high blood pressure (hypertension)
• Having high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia)
• Having abdominal obesity
• Having a blood clotting disorder
• Having kidney disease

Diagnosis of Peripheral Artery Disease

A history and physical examination are done as well as a review of risk factors. Certain tests may be ordered including:

Ankle/Brachial Index (ABI) – This measures the blood pressure on the lower legs compared to that of the arms. Blood pressure is taken on the arms and legs using a hand-held device called a Doppler in order to listen to the blood flow. This is a highly accurate method to diagnose the disease.
