What Is Peripheral Arterial Disease?
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to the legs and other parts of the body. Reduced blood flow can cause pain, numbness, and difficulty walking, while increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications. At Zambito Heart Center, Dr. Peter Zambito provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for peripheral arterial disease.
