Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Screening
What is PAD?
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to your legs, arms, stomach, and head.
What Are the Symptoms of PAD?
The most common form of PAD affects the legs and can cause you to experience:
- pain while walking (claudication)
- slow-healing wounds
However not everyone who has PAD will exhibit symptoms. According to a national survey from the PAD Pulse Alliance, 70% of Americans are unaware of having peripheral artery disease, which can result in amputation or even death.
Who is at Risk?
Understanding your risk factorsis the first step in determining when you should schedule a PAD screening. Several lifestyle factors and conditions increase your likelihood of developing the disease.
- Ages 55+
- Tobacco Smokers
- Diabetes
- High Blood Pressure
- High Cholesterol
- Family History
- Obesity
- Sedentary Lifestyle
