Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a common circulatory condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of arteries, most commonly in the legs. The most common cause is plaque deposition over the arteries’ walls, known as atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis, a condition where fatty deposits build up on the artery walls, is the primary cause of PAD. This […]
Peripheral artery disease, or PAD, is a circulatory condition that affects a significant population worldwide. It occurs when plaque build-up narrows the arteries, restricting blood flow to the limbs, which commonly include the legs. Calcium is a major mineral that plays a vital role in metabolism and other physiological mechanisms. It is crucial for nerve […]
Painful Legs, a common experience that can affect people of all ages and backgrounds, is often a result of various risk factors such as trauma, injury, cramps, strain, neuropathy, age, overuse of the leg muscles, and fatigue. While it’s typically harmless, it can also be a signal of underlying medical conditions. Some of the most […]
Peripheral artery disease is a common problem that is related to the circulation of the blood. In PAD, the arteries narrow, reducing the blood flow towards the limbs, especially the legs. This condition is caused by atherosclerosis, which is the deposition of plaque on the walls of the arteries. PAD further leads to severe complications […]
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) and Raynaud disease are two different vascular conditions that affect blood flow. Various factors cause them, show other symptoms, and have distinct treatments. Understanding these differences is essential for tailored diagnosis and management of both conditions. Raynaud Disease Raynaud disease, also known as Raynaud phenomenon or syndrome, is characterized by episodes […]
Peripheral artery disease and stroke are two primary vascular conditions that have a common underlying cause, which is atherosclerosis. Peripheral artery disease and stroke are significant patrons to mortality and morbidity worldwide. Moreover, understanding the multifaceted relationship between stroke and PAD is critical for early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Stroke and PAD Peripheral artery disease […]
Peripheral artery disease is a vascular condition that affects the lower limbs. It is characterized by the blockage of arteries, typically in the legs. Based on the progression and severity of the disease, it is classified into different stages. Peripheral artery disease is a common circulatory problem affecting millions of people worldwide. It is caused […]
Peripheral Artery Disease is a common circulatory condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of arteries, most commonly in the legs. A question that arises is whether PAD can affect both legs simultaneously. The answer to this question is Bilateral PAD – a condition in which the plaque and their blood flow block the arteries […]
Peripheral artery disease is a circulatory condition affecting most of the population worldwide. It occurs when a build-up of plaques formed by high cholesterol, fats, or triglycerides narrows the arteries, restricting blood flow to the limbs, which commonly include the legs. It predominantly affects older people, and the age at which it starts to manifest […]
After spending a lot of time sitting still, it is very typical to experience tingling and numbness in your foot or lower leg. Sitting compresses the nerves in that area of your body, reducing blood flow to the area and resulting in numbness. When you get up and allow your blood flow to return to […]
