Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a circulatory condition that affects blood vessels outside of the heart and brain, primarily in the legs and feet. It is often caused by the narrowing or blockage of arteries due to a buildup of plaque, leading to reduced blood flow to the extremities.
Causes & Symptoms
Peripheral vascular disease can develop due to various factors, including:

Why Choose Us
Peripheral vascular disease is primarily caused by atherosclerosis, a buildup of plaque in the arteries, but it can also be associated with conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and smoking.
Symptoms may include leg pain or cramping during physical activity, coldness or numbness in the legs or feet, weakness or fatigue in the legs, slow-healing wounds or ulcers, and changes in skin color or texture.
Diagnosis typically involves a combination of physical examination, medical history review, non-invasive vascular testing (such as ankle-brachial index or Doppler ultrasound), and imaging studies (such as CT angiography or magnetic resonance angiography) to evaluate blood flow and identify blockages in the arteries.
