Peripheral Artery Disease

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a condition where fatty deposits build up in the blood vessels outside the heart and brain, causing them to narrow and restrict blood flow. This can lead to symptoms like pain, cramping, and numbness in the arms or legs. PAD is a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke, but physical activity can help improve symptoms.
