Peripheral artery disease (PAD) – Symptoms and causes

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the arms or legs. This condition also may be called peripheral arterial disease. In PAD, the legs or arms — usually the legs — don’t get enough blood flow to keep up with demand. This may cause leg pain when walking, called claudication, and other symptoms.
