What is Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)?

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) refers to the narrowing of arteries that supply blood to the legs, arms, kidneys, or head. It is similar to Coronary Artery Disease and occurs due to a process called Atherosclerosis — the buildup of fatty deposits inside the arteries, reducing blood flow to the affected areas.

Risk Factors for PAD:
Several lifestyle and health factors increase the risk of developing Peripheral Artery Disease: Smoking, Diabetes, Hypertension (High Blood Pressure), High Cholesterol Levels, Advanced Age.

What Happens During Coronary Angiography?

Your cardiologist uses a thin, flexible tube called a catheter to inject a special contrast dye into your bloodstream during an angiography. Through an access point, typically found in your groin (femoral access) or wrist (radial access), this catheter is carefully inserted into the desired artery.

Following injection, the dye makes the blood vessels prominent on X-ray pictures, enabling the physician to spot any obstructions, constriction, or anomalies. Urine is the safe way for the kidneys to filter the dye out of the body.

Symptoms of PAD

Patients with PAD may experience:

• Cramps or tiredness in the legs or hip muscles while walking or climbing stairs
• Pain that reduces with rest
• Non-healing wounds or ulcers on the legs or feet
• Blackening or discoloration of toes or foot skin

If you notice any of these symptoms, early evaluation and treatment are essential to prevent serious complications.
