Peripheral Vascular Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Peripheral vascular disease is a circulatory disorder in which the arteries that carry blood to the extremities, most often the legs, narrow or harden and reduce blood flow.
How it usually shows up: Pain, cramps, or fatigue in the legs when walking that improve with rest, cold skin, color changes, or wounds that are slow to heal can be signs.
Associated factors: Smoking, diabetes, and other conditions that affect the blood vessels are usually linked to this condition.
Which specialist treats it? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon are the ones who evaluate peripheral vascular disease. If you have discomfort in your legs when walking or wounds that do not close, it is a good idea to bring it up with a professional.
