- peripheral vascular disease (PVD)
- Arteriosclerosis in arteries of the arms or legs, which become narrow from the build up of plaque and eventually may cause severe symptoms. The most common form is disease in large vessels supplying the legs, which causes severe pain on walking and may in time make a patient immobile.
PVD is sometimes called peripheral artery disease (PAD).
