Arteriosclerosis of the Extremities
Arteriosclerosis of the extremities is the progressive hardening and narrowing of the arteries that carry blood to the arms and, more frequently, the legs, which reduces blood supply to these areas.
Common symptoms: pain or cramps when walking that ease with rest, a sensation of cold in the feet, changes in skin color, and wounds that are slow to heal.
Associated factors: smoking, diabetes, and abnormalities in blood fat levels are related to its development.
Which specialist treats it? the angiologist and the vascular surgeon evaluate the circulation of the extremities, while the general or family practitioner usually guides the first visit. If you notice this discomfort persistently, it is worth reviewing it with a professional.
