Heart disease and leg pain: Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) symptoms – when leg pain means more than just aches
Leg pain during walking could signal Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), indicating clogged arteries and increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Early detection through tests like ABI is crucial, especially for those with risk factors such as smoking or diabetes. Addressing PAD through lifestyle changes and medical interventions can protect both legs and heart.
