Says one Ohio State University Medical Center doctor, "If you have disease in your lower legs, chances are you also have diseased carotid arteries, or the arteries supplying your brain, or your coronary arteries." A condition known as peripheral arterial disease, or PAD, has been known to lead to wounds, gangrene and even amputation of some patients' legs.
