Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A blocked artery in a limb is most likely to cause peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD is a condition where the arteries that supply blood to the legs become narrow or blocked, which can lead to pain, numbness, and in severe cases, tissue damage and amputation. A heart attack (A) is caused by a blockage in the coronary artery, which supplies blood to the heart, and a stroke (B) is caused by a blockage in an artery that supplies blood to the brain. Arthritis (D) is a condition that affects the joints and is not related to blockages in arteries.
