Are You at Risk for Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD)?

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a circulatory condition that occurs when blood vessels outside of the heart and brain become narrowed, blocked, or spasmed. This can reduce blood flow to your arms, legs, stomach, or kidneys.

With PVD, your limbs — most often your legs — may not get enough blood flow, which can cause discomfort, difficulty walking, and, if left untreated, serious complications such as infections or even amputation.

Take our free PVD risk assessment quiz to discover if you may be at risk. If you score four or more points, you could be at higher risk and should speak with a vascular specialist.
