Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) occurs when plaque clogs arteries and reduces blood flow to the legs. It may cause pain, weakness or cramping in the legs. The risk of having PAD increases with age. You may be at risk for PAD if you smoke, have diabetes, have high blood pressure, or have abnormal cholesterol levels. PAD can reduce mobility and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Peripheral Artery Disease develops over time and can be treated. Learn more about PAD prevention, management and treatments from vascular surgeon James Herrington, MD on the Hurley in the Morning radio show.
