1 in 20 Americans over the age of 50 has Enfermedad arterial periférica (PAD).
PAD is a condition that develops when fatty plaque builds up in the arteries and veins of the legs and limits blood flow. Just like clogged arteries in the heart, PAD raises risk for ataque cardíaco y derrame cerebral.
¿Cuáles son los síntomas de la enfermedad arterial periférica?
- Entumecimiento en las piernas y sensación de debilidad
- Coldness in the lower leg or foot
- Llagas en los dedos de los pies, los pies o las piernas que no sanan

It’s important to know that people can have PAD without knowing it. People often experience minor symptoms but don’t report them because they believe they are either a natural part of aging or due to another condition.
