What is Pad

The information on this page is intended to benefit and inform patients who may have been diagnosed with PAD


Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a narrowing of the arteries that supplies blood to your legs. The narrowed arteries cannot carry enough blood, which may cause you to experience pain in your legs when walking or doing daily activities. Most people however, may never have any symptoms and do not realise they have PAD until it leads to a heart attack or a stroke.
