According to the Vascular Foundation, these people are at increased risk for heart attack and many don't even know they have PAD.
PAD occurs when the arteries in the legs become narrowed or clogged with fatty deposits.

Symptoms include fatigue, heaviness, tiredness or cramping in the calf, thigh or buttock muscles that occurs during activity.
Skin wound sore ulcers that are slow to heal and foot or toe pain at rest that often disturbs sleep.
