Understanding and Managing Peripheral Artery Disease
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a condition affecting blood vessels outside the heart and brain, causing narrowing due to fatty deposits. This constriction restricts blood flow to areas like the arms, legs, kidneys, and stomach. Common in older individuals with atherosclerosis, PAD poses a significant risk for stroke and heart attack, with a higher incidence in men.
