When atherosclerosis occurs in a limb, it is referred to as peripheral artery disease (PAD). This condition results from the narrowing of the peripheral arteries, often leading to reduced blood flow to the legs and feet. Symptoms may include leg pain, cramping, and, in severe cases, ulcers or gangrene. PAD is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular events and requires proper diagnosis and management.
