Difference between peripheral artery disease and coronary artery disease?

CAD: CAD is the same as pvd, it just is the term for the same disease located in the coronary arteries. The disease is all over the body.

Ok: Peripheral is not heart or head. Coronary is only heart. Both are affected by atherosclerosis, and blood vessel obstruction.
