Arm Artery Disease

Arm artery disease is kind of like a clog in the pipes of your arms. Normally, blood travels through smooth arteries to bring oxygen and nutrients to your arms and hands. But with arm artery disease, fatty deposits and other gunk can build up inside the arteries, narrowing the passage or even blocking it completely. This can happen slowly over time or suddenly due to a blood clot.

Causes:

There are two main cause behind arm artery disease:

  • Atherosclerosis: This is the same process that causes heart disease. Over time, cholesterol, calcium and other junk can build up inside your arteries, forming plaque. This plaque hardens and narrows the arteries, reducing blood flow.
  • Blood clots: Sometimes, a blood clot that forms elsewhere in your body, like in your heart, can travel through your bloodstream and get lodged in an artery in your arm. This sudden blockage can cause severe symptoms.
