Question: 1 / 400

The most common type of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is:

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)

The correct answer is A. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the most common type of peripheral vascular disease (PVD). PAD occurs when there is a narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the legs and feet, leading to decreased blood flow. This can result in symptoms such as leg pain, cramping, and numbness.

While peripheral venous disease (B), Raynaud's phenomenon (C), and varicose veins (D) are all forms of vascular conditions, they are not as common as peripheral arterial disease (PAD) when considering all types of peripheral vascular diseases.
