Summary about Peripheral Vascular Disease in English

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a circulatory disorder that develops over time. PVD is caused by a spasm, blockage, or narrowing of the blood vessel.

PVD, also known as Peripheral arterial disease, can affect any blood vessel outside the heart, including the veins, arteries, and lymphatic vessels. The brain and legs supplied by these vessels may not receive enough blood flow to function properly. However, the feet and legs are the most commonly affected.

Treatment

Treatment may include:

  • Lifestyle changes for controlling risk factors, including proper nutrition, regular exercise, and quitting smoking
  • Aggressive treatment of the existing conditions which may worsen PVD, like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol
  • Medicines like blood thinners improve blood flow and medications that relax your blood vessel walls
  • Vascular surgery
  • Angioplasty such as Balloon angioplasty, Atherectomy, Laser angioplasty, and Stent.

Symptoms of Peripheral Vascular Disease

Approximately half of those diagnosed with PVD have no symptoms. The most common first symptom for those who have symptoms is painful leg cramping that occurs during exercise and is relieved by rest (intermittent claudication).

Other symptoms may include:

  • Changes in the skin such as brittle, thin, shiny skin on the feet and legs or decreased skin temperature
  • Impotence
  • Gangrene (dead tissue as a result of lack of blood flow)
  • Weak pulses in the feet and legs
  • Hair loss on the legs
  • Numbness, heaviness, or weakness in muscles
  • Wounds that do not heal over the pressure points like heels or ankles
  • Paleness while the legs are elevated
  • Pain (described as aching or burning) at rest, especially in the toes and during the night while lying flat
  • Restricted mobility
  • Reddish-blue discoloration of your extremities
  • Thickened, opaque toenails
  • Severe pain when your artery is blocked or very narrow

Causes of Peripheral Vascular Disease

The most common cause of PVD is a buildup of plaque inside your artery wall (atherosclerosis).

Other causes may include:

  • Injury to your arms or legs
  • Irregular anatomy of your muscles or ligaments
  • Infection

People who have coronary artery disease often have PVD.

Preventive Measures of Peripheral Vascular Disease

To prevent PVD, take the following steps to manage its risk factors.

  • Quit smoking
  • Limit or quit alcohol intake
  • Treat your high blood cholesterol through medicine as prescribed by your doctor
  • Reduce intake of cholesterol, fat, and simple carbohydrates (like sweets), and increase amounts of vegetables and fruits, lean meats, and low-fat dairy
  • Weight loss
  • Exercise at least 30 minutes daily
  • Medicines to reduce the risk for blood clots, as prescribed by the doctor
  • Control of high blood pressure
  • Control of diabetes
