Peripheral Vascular Disease

Peripheral vascular disease is a condition that occurs when the arteries that transport blood to the arms and legs become narrowed or clogged.

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) affects nearly 10 million people in the United States. It occurs when the arteries carrying blood to the legs and arms become narrowed or clogged.

Individuals with PVD are at a higher risk for heart disease and stroke. PVD affects one out of every 20 people over the age of 50. However, less than 25 percent of individuals who suffer from PVD are receiving treatment.
