PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASEA PROBLEM WITH BLOOD FLOW IN ARTERIES
Peripheral artery disease is the result of narrow or blocked arteries. Generally a buildup of fatty deposits builds up over a period of time. These deposits inside the arteries restrict the blood flow. This loss of flow results in not enough blood delivered from the heart to the muscles and organs in your body. Peripheral artery disease is the result of poor blood flow to the arms and the legs. When one is said to have this disease, there is just not enough blood supplied to keep them healthy. PAIN IN CALF, THIGH OR HIP MUSCLES The most common body reaction is after exercising muscles in the arms or legs. This might take place as a result of walking some distance. As one walks the muscles are exercised and they need more blood flow. When this blood flow does not come, the muscles will become painful. When one stops to rest for some time, the pain will generally go away. As a result of rest, the muscles do now need as much blood. Even though there is some blockage in the artery it provides enough blood at rest. But, most often it will onset again after walking some distance. WHO GETS THIS DISEASE? As with so many other problems in the circulatory system, those with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes are likely candidates. They most likely already have blockage in other arteries. Cigarette smoking most likely promotes such blockage and it is often part of the aging process. People with peripheral artery disease have often had heart attacks or strokes. This is s result of the loss of blood flow to those organs as a result of the deposits that have built up. The arteries that provide blood to the heart itself or to the brain most likely would already have some blockage. The result of aging, arthritis, or diabetes often causes pain in the legs. As a result, someone may not realize that it could be from blocked arteries. If left untreated, it can become a serious threat to one’s health. Those who notice pain in the legs after walking some distance should consider may be at risk for this disease. |
