About PAD:: Peripheral Artery Disease is narrowing of arteries in legs (sometimes arms), usually from plaque from years of smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, and/or genetic tendency.Pain occurs when walking and goes away at rest (unless severe enough to need surgery - would be obvious on exam). Pulses in feet generally weak. Toes might be cool/cold, purple or blue, or ulcerated.
