PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE WITH GINNY CROSS, MSN, FNP-C

 

PAD is a common condition affecting the legs.  In PAD, a buildup of fatty

deposits (plaque) in the leg arteries restricts blood flow from the heart to

the legs.  When blood flow is reduced, it can lead to leg pain  when walking

or climbing stairs because your leg muscles are not getting enough oxygen.
