Peripheral vascular disease refers to any condition that affects the blood vessels outside of the heart and brain, including both arteries and veins. Peripheral artery disease specifically refers to a narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the limbs, usually due to a buildup of plaque. Both conditions can impact the circulatory system by reducing blood flow to the extremities, leading to symptoms like pain, numbness, and poor wound healing.
