Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) occurs when the arteries in the limbs become narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow to the affected limb. This can cause pain, numbness, and in severe cases can lead to tissue damage and amputation. Heart attacks (A) and strokes (B) result from blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart and brain, respectively. Arthritis (D) is a joint disorder and not directly related to arterial blockages.
