Peripheral Vascular
Disease
What is peripheral vascular disease?
Peripheral vascular diseases (PVD) refer to diseases of blood
vessels, usually those outside the heart and brain.
PVD often results from a narrowing of blood vessels that
carry blood to the stomach, kidneys, legs or arms. Organic peripheral
vascular diseases result from structural changes to the blood vessels, while
functional peripheral vascular diseases result not from structural changes in
the blood vessels but from extraneous factors such as cold temperatures,
smoking etc. An example of organic PVD is the peripheral artery disease which
is caused by buildups of fat in arteries. These buildups restrict normal
blood flow leading to complications.
