Open wounds on the feet
Wounds or ulcers on the feet can indicate heart problems and should be examined by your doctor. Aortoiliac occlusive disease is a blockage of the aorta. This could lead to an undersupply of blood to the tissue and thus to ischemia. This causes tissue damage in the foot and open wounds or ulcers. Even tissue death is possible if adequate medical care is not provided. (according to NYU Langone Health)

Pain on the toes
Pain in the toes is completely normal after a long day at work or if your shoes are too tight. However, if you suffer from pain in the toes or numbness and cold sensations in the legs for no apparent reason, this could indicate an aortoiliac occlusive disease. In any case, it is advisable to see a doctor, as this condition could be life-threatening!
