PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease)

CVM's Doctors Are The Leaders In Treating Peripheral Arterial Disease In The Quad Cities. 

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) in the legs or lower extremities is the narrowing or blockage of the vessels that carry blood from the heart to the legs. It is primarily caused by the buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries, which is called atherosclerosis. PAD can happen in any blood vessel, but it is more common in the legs than the arms.
