Understanding peripheral artery disease?

Comprehensive, relevant and insightful conversations about health and medicine happen here… on MedStar Health Doc Talk.

By the time we reach our 40’s, about 10-million Americans have some degree of plaque build-up in the arteries, called atherosclerosis. Deposits of that plaque in the arteries can impede or block the blood flow to the legs. It’s called peripheral artery disease, or P-A-D, PAD- and you may not even know you have it.
