Description: What is peripheral artery disease and what are its symptoms? Dr. Arshed Quyyumi explains. In peripheral artery disease the arteries in the legs narrow, limiting blood flow to one's muscles. It often goes unrecognized, causing no symptoms at all - or symptoms you may think are something else, such as muscle cramps. PAD is usually caused by atherosclerosis, the same disease process that causes heart attacks and strokes. It's important to recognize that even mild peripheral artery disease is an important signal that atherosclerosis might be affecting vital arteries elsewhere. About Dr. Arshed Quyyumi Dr. Arshed Quyyumi is a professor of medicine at Emory University School of Medicine, Emory University.
