Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a common yet often overlooked condition that affects the arteries outside the heart and brain. It primarily involves the narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the limbs, particularly the legs. This is usually caused by atherosclerosis, where fatty deposits build up on the artery walls, restricting blood flow.
