hi, you mentioned PAD while explaining PVD, are they the same?

[@boz287]

Hi. Good question. For all practical purposes yes. PVD would include both arterial AND venous disease. PAD is only atherosclerosis of the arteries (same as carotid, coronaries etc - plaque, debris, thrombus, emboli). PVD would more include things like varicose veins and venous incompentence or venous insufficienty. The arterial ones (PAD) are more important to ER practice as they can result in occlusions, infarcts and amputations. The Venouse ones (more PVD) aren't real emergencies (IE: you don't loose limbs) - I hope this helps!
