Peripheral artery disease

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) involves narrowed arteries reducing blood flow to the legs and sometimes arms, often causing leg pain during walking, known as claudication. Primarily caused by atherosclerosis, severe PAD cases can necessitate amputation. PAD notably affects Black Americans disproportionately, leading to higher risks of under-diagnosis, under-treatment, and severe outcomes like amputation.
