Peripheral Vascular Disease
Peripheral vascular disease, also known as PVD, is a condition that affects the peripheral nerves, which are the nerves that supply the muscles, bones, and skin of the body. The most common cause of PVD is atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of plaque in the blood vessels that supply the extremities. Other causes include leggionella infection, trauma, and a genetic predisposition. Symptoms can vary depending on the type of PVD and can include pain, numbness, weakness, and tingling in the affected limb. Treatment typically involves a combination of medications, lifestyle changes, and physical therapy. In severe cases, PVD can lead to amplifier or even death. Early detection and treatment is essential to prevent the progression of the condition.
