Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow, usually to the legs, often caused by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis). It can cause pain, cramping, or weakness in the legs during activity (claudication), non-healing sores, and coldness in the lower limbs, increasing risk for heart attack and stroke. Management involves lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, quitting smoking), medications, and sometimes procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery, with risk factors including diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, and high cholesterol. Causes & Risk Factors Atherosclerosis: Fatty plaque builds up in artery walls, narrowing them. Risk Factors: Age (over 50), smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, family history, and kidney disease. Common Symptoms Intermittent Claudication: Muscle pain or cramping in legs/hips during activity (walking, climbing stairs) that stops with rest. Leg numbness, weakness, or coldness, especially in the lower leg or foot. Sores or ulcers on toes, feet, or legs that won't heal. Pale, shiny skin on the legs. Slower hair growth on legs/feet. Weak or absent pulse in legs/feet. Diagnosis & Treatment Diagnosis: Physical exam, ankle-brachial index (ABI) test, imaging tests. Treatments: Lifestyle: Stop smoking, heart-healthy diet, regular exercise (supervised walking programs), weight management. Medications: Statins (cholesterol), blood pressure drugs, antiplatelets (e.g., clopidogrel). Procedures: Angioplasty (balloon to open artery) with stenting, bypass surgery to reroute blood flow. Complications if Untreated Severe rest pain (ischemic pain), Gangrene (tissue death), Limb amputation, and Increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Check Detailed video !!!
