Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a common yet underrecognized vascular condition that affects millions worldwide. It occurs due to the narrowing of peripheral arteries, primarily in the legs, caused by atherosclerosis—a buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries. This restricts blood flow, leading to symptoms like pain, cramping, and fatigue during physical activities, which significantly diminish the quality of life. PAD is often viewed as a marker of widespread vascular disease, with affected individuals at a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and limb amputation.
