Peripheral artery disease (PAD) occurs when the arteries that deliver blood from the heart to the limbs constrict or get blocked. The primary reason is the accumulation of lipid plaque in the arteries, known as atherosclerosis. PAD may affect any blood vessel, but it affects the legs more frequently than the arms. Daily exercise, eating a nutritious diet and quitting smoking are all effective ways to prevent peripheral artery disease.
