Syncope: No cardio syncope does not cause peripheral vascular disease. When lying down blood is normally pooled in the lower extremities.

It is not PVD: Blood pooling in legs is not peripheral vascular disease.Blood pooling in legs is the reason for neurocardiogenic syncope.Pvd will be caused by same risk factors as aterosclerotic hd like smoking, high chol, bp, dm. Family history etc.
