Hardening of the arteries legs
Peripheral artery disease - legs: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia
A. PAD, more commonly known as hardening of the arteries, is a condition in which the large and medium-sized arteries supplying blood to the legs become narrow or clogged, constricting the flow of blood. PAD is caused by atherosclerosis, a gradual process in which cholesterol and scar tissue build up, forming a substance called plaque that ...

Atherosclerosis (arteriosclerosis) may involve the abdominal aorta and the large arteries that branch from the aorta into the legs (iliac, femoral, popliteal and tibial arteries). The arteries to the kidneys (renal arteries) may also be involved. A bruit may be heard near obstructions, and pulses in the feet may be reduced or absent.

Arteries throughout the body may be affected by hardening, which causes symptoms because hardened arteries cannot carry enough blood to the body. Narrowing or hardening of the arteries that feed the heart (the coronary arteries) can lead to a heart attack. Narrowing and hardening of the arteries in the legs can cause pain and difficulty walking.

However, in patients with severe hardening of the arteries, the arteries in the legs may become so blocked as to restrict blood flow to the lower extremities. Thus, measuring the ankle blood pressure relative to the arm blood pressure is a marker of extent of arterial disease: A low ankle : arm index suggests more severe peripheral arterial ...

Commonly known as “hardening of the arteries,” P.A.D. occurs when arteries in the legs become narrowed or clogged with fatty deposits, reducing blood flow to the legs. As a result, P.A.D. may cause leg muscle pain when walking and lead to disability, amputation and a poor quality of life.

Arteries carry blood . that is high in oxygen and low in carbon dioxide, except for the pulmonary artery. 2. Veins – Carry blood to the heart. Veins have thinner, less elastic walls. They contain valves to keep blood flowing in one. direction. Valves are especially important in the legs because blood flows against gravity. Veins branch into ...
