PVD is a condition in which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs. While arteries are primarily affected, changes in venous circulation can also cause visible veins as the body compensates by rerouting blood through smaller vessels.
Possible symptoms:
- Tired, aching legs
- Numbness or coldness in extremities
- Slow-healing wounds or color changes in the skin
PVD is often connected to atherosclerosis and may increase the risk of heart att.ack or stroke.
