What causes PAD?

Peripheral Arterial Disease of the Legs, SVCMC; New York NY
The most common cause is the buildup of plaque on the inside of arteries. Plaque is made of extra cholesterol, calcium, and other material in your blood. Over time, plaque builds up along the inner walls of the arteries, including those that supply blood to your legs. If plaque builds up in your arteries, there is less room for blood to flow. Every part of your body needs blood that is rich in oxygen.

How is PAD diagnosed?

Peripheral Arterial Disease of the Legs, SVCMC; New York NY
Your doctor will talk with you about your symptoms and past health and will do a physical exam. During the exam, your doctor will check your pulse at your groin, behind your knee, on the inner ankle, and on the top of your foot. Your pulse shows the strength of blood flow. An absent or weak pulse in these spots is a sign of PAD. Your doctor may also look at the color of your foot when it is higher than the level of your heart and after exercise.

Can I exercise if I have PAD?

Peripheral Arterial Disease of the Legs, SVCMC; New York NY
The most common cause of peripheral arterial disease is the buildup of plaque on the inside of arteries. Plaque is made up of excess cholesterol, calcium, and other substances in your bloodstream that, over time, build up along the inner walls of the arteries, including the arteries that feed your legs. The plaque deposits decrease the space through which oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood can flow. Poor blood flow "starves" the muscles and other tissues in the lower body.
