Peripheral Vascular
Disease

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) refers to diseases of blood vessels outside the heart and brain commonly found in the lower extremities. It’s often a narrowing of vessels that carry blood to the legs, arms, stomach or kidneys. 

There are two types of PVD:

don’t involve defects in blood vessels’ structure. (The blood vessels aren’t physically damaged.) These diseases often have symptoms related to “spasm” that may come and go.

are caused by structural changes in the blood vessels. Examples could include inflammation and tissue damage.

is a type of organic PVD. It’s caused by fatty buildups (atherosclerosis) in the inner walls of arteries. These deposits block normal blood flow.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD)

What are symptoms of PAD?

Signs of poor leg circulation are:
  • Cramping
  • Fatigue
  • Numbness, tingling or weakness in leg 
  • Coldness in your lower leg or foot
  • Non-healing wounds or sores on your toes, feet, legs
  • Gangrene (dead tissue due to lack of blood flow)
  • Brittle or thickened toe nails
  • Heaviness and pain or discomfort in the legs and buttocks during activity.
    This usually goes away when the activity stops.
  • Discoloration of the extremities (reddish-blue)
  • Hair loss or slower hair growth on your legs and feet
  • Erectile dysfunction in men

How can I be tested for PAD/ PVD?

The diagnosis journey starts with a medical history, physical exam, and ABI test. If PAD/PVD is suspected, additional tests confirm the diagnosis.

These tests may include:
  • CT Angiogram
  • Regular Angiogram
  • Doppler and Duplex Ultrasound Imaging
  • Magnetic Resonance Angiogram (MRA)

Is peripheral artery disease (PAD) dangerous? 

Yes!

How it works
  • Fatty deposits block arteries, reducing blood flow to kidneys, stomach, arms, legs, and feet.
  • Left untreated, PAD can lead to gangrene and limb amputation.
  • Patients with PAD have higher risk of heart attack and stroke caused by blocked arteries.
